RE: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] tweak memory error correction field in the SMBIOS data

["Jiang, Yunhong" <yunhong.jiang@xxxxxxxxx>]

So with your patch, even if host has no ECC support, you will still tell guest 
that the memory has ECC?

Generally, I don't think it is a good idea to present guest with capability 
more than host can provide, unless you can provide that capability through 
software emulation.
But I don;t think you can emulate ECC memory through software method.
