Right, we already use the tuple thing. Patch 8 in this set uses the 
tuple to look up (search for) the bank type at runtime. This is in order 
to get rid of all the per-CPU stuff.

Now I figured it'd be good to have special helpers to do a quick check 
for the UMC bank types. Because memory errors will be the most commonly 
reported errors.

But it's likely not important to save a few cycles here. Especially 
since the helpers will be used in the notifier chain and not in the #MC 
handler, etc.

I'll think on it a bit more, but this patch and the previous one can 
likely be dropped.

Thanks,
