While Breno wasn't specific about the source of the errors in these messages, I'm
guessing that they might be coming from cache errors rather than DDR memory.

There isn't a good way for software[1] to suppress these errors. Taking memory
pages offline when the problem is the cache will just deplete available memory
without solving the problem.

[1] I'll be posting something later today that adds a driver to help with a hardware
solution to correctable cache errors.
