    edac: i5100 new intel chipset driver · 8f421c59

    Preliminary support for the Intel 5100 MCH.  CE and UE errors are reported
    along with the current DIMM label information and other memory parameters.
    
    Reasons why this is preliminary:
    
    1) This chip has 2 independent memory controllers which, for best
       perforance, use interleaved accesses to the DDR2 memory.  This
       architecture does not map very well to the current edac data structures
       which depend on symmetric channel access to the interleaved data.
       Without core changes, the best I could do for now is to map both memory
       controllers to different csrows (first all ranks of controller 0, then
       all ranks of controller 1).  Someone much more familiar with the edac
       core than I will probably need to come up with a more general data
       structure to handle the interleaving and de-interleaving of the two
       memory controllers.
    
    2) I have not yet tackled the de-interleaving of the rank/controller
       address space into the physical address space of the CPU.  There is
       nothing fundamentally missing, it is just ending up to be a lot of
       code, and I'd rather keep it separate for now, esp since it doesn't
       work yet...
    
    3) The code depends on a particular i5100 chip select to DIMM mainboard
       chip select mapping.  This mapping seems obvious to me in order to
       support dual and single ranked memory, but it is not unique and DIMM
       labels could be wrong on other mainboards.  There is no way to query
       this mapping that I know of.
    
    4) The code requires that the i5100 is in 32GB mode.  Only 4 ranks per
       controller, 2 ranks per DIMM are supported.  I do not have hardware
       (nor do I expect to have hardware anytime soon) for the 48GB (6 ranks
       per controller) mode.
    
    5) The serial presence detect code should be broken out into a "real"
       i2c driver so that decode-dimms.pl can work.
