e27e3dac65 drivers/edac: add edac_device class
This patch adds the new 'class' of object to be managed, named: 'edac_device'.

As a peer of the 'edac_mc' class of object, it provides a non-memory centric
view of an ERROR DETECTING device in hardware. It provides a sysfs interface
and an abstraction for varioius EDAC type devices.

Multiple 'instances' within the class are possible, with each 'instance'
able to have multiple 'blocks', and each 'block' having 'attributes'.

At the 'block' level there are the 'ce_count' and 'ue_count' fields
which the device driver can update and/or call edac_device_handle_XX()
functions. At each higher level are additional 'total' count fields,
which are a summation of counts below that level.

This 'edac_device' has been used to capture and present ECC errors
which are found in a a L1 and L2 system on a per CORE/CPU basis.

7c9281d76c drivers/edac: split out functions to unique files
This is a large patch to refactor the original EDAC module in the kernel
and to break it up into better file granularity, such that each source
file contains a given subsystem of the EDAC CORE.

Originally, the EDAC 'core' was contained in one source file: edac_mc.c
with it corresponding edac_mc.h file.

Now, there are the following files:

edac_module.c	The main module init/exit function and other overhead
edac_mc.c	Code handling the edac_mc class of object
edac_mc_sysfs.c	Code handling for sysfs presentation
edac_pci_sysfs.c  Code handling for PCI sysfs presentation
edac_core.h	CORE .h include file for 'edac_mc' and 'edac_device' drivers
edac_module.h	Internal CORE .h include file

This forms a foundation upon which a later patch can create the 'edac_device'
class of object code in a new file 'edac_device.c'.
