Doug Thompson 49c0dab7e6 [PATCH] Fix and enable EDAC sysfs operation
When EDAC was first introduced into the kernel it had a sysfs interface,
but due to some problems it was disabled in 2.6.16 and remained disabled in
2.6.17.

With feedback, several of the control and attribute files of that interface
had some good constructive feedback.  PCI Blacklist/Whitelist was a major
set which has design issues and it has been removed in this patch.  Instead
of storing PCI broken parity status in EDAC, it has been moved to the
pci_dev structure itself by a previous PCI patch.  A future patch will
enable that feature in EDAC by utilizing the pci_dev info.

The sysfs is now enabled in this patch, with a minimal set of control and
attribute files for examining EDAC state and for enabling/disabling the
memory and PCI operations.

The Documentation for EDAC has also been updated to reflect the new state
of EDAC operation.

Alan Cox da9bb1d27b [PATCH] EDAC: core EDAC support code
This is a subset of the bluesmoke project core code, stripped of the NMI work
which isn't ready to merge and some of the "interesting" proc functionality
that needs reworking or just has no place in kernel.  It requires no core
kernel changes except the added scrub functions already posted.

The goal is to merge further functionality only after the core code is
accepted and proven in the base kernel, and only at the point the upstream
extras are really ready to merge.

From: doug thompson <norsk5@xmission.com>

  This converts EDAC to sysfs and is the final chunk neccessary before EDAC
  has a stable user space API and can be considered for submission into the
  base kernel.
