edac.h: Add generic layers for describing a memory location
The edac core were written with the idea that memory controllers are able to directly access csrows, and that the channels are used inside a csrows select. This is not true for FB-DIMM and RAMBUS memory controllers. Also, some recent advanced memory controllers don't present a per-csrows view. Instead, they view memories as DIMMs, instead of ranks, accessed via csrow/channel. So, changes are needed in order to allow the EDAC core to work with all types of architectures. In preparation for handling non-csrows based memory controllers, add some memory structs and a macro: enum hw_event_mc_err_type: describes the type of error (corrected, uncorrected, fatal) To be used by the new edac_mc_handle_error function; enum edac_mc_layer: describes the type of a given memory architecture layer (branch, channel, slot, csrow). struct edac_mc_layer: describes the properties of a memory layer (type, size, and if the layer will be used on a virtual csrow. EDAC_DIMM_PTR() - as the number of layers can vary from 1 to 3, this macro converts from an address with up to 3 layers into a linear address.
