This function appears only on Xeon 5500 datasheet. Yet, testing with a
Xeon 3503 showed that this is also implemented on other Nehalem
processors.
At the first read, MC_TEST_ERR_RCV1 and MC_TEST_ERR_RCV0 can contain any
value. Modify CE error logic to update the error count only after the
second read.
An alternative approach would be to do a write at rcv0 and rcv1
registers, but it seemed better to keep they untouched, since BIOS might
eventually assume that they are exclusive for their usage.

There are some locking troubles with edac_core: if you don't declare an
edac_check, module may suffer from soft lock.

Implements set_inject_error() with the low-level code needed to inject
memory errors at Nehalem, and adds some sysfs nodes to allow error injection
The next patch will add an API for error injection.

This driver is meant to support i7 core/i7core extreme desktop
processors and Xeon 35xx/55xx series with integrated memory controller.
It is likely that it can be expanded in the future to work with other
processor series based at the same Memory Controller design.
For now, it has just a few MCH status reads.
