Remove add_mc_to_global_list().  In next patch, this function will be
reimplemented with different semantics.

1 Reimplement add_mc_to_global_list() with semantics that allow the caller to
  determine the ID number for a mem_ctl_info structure.  Then modify
  edac_mc_add_mc() so that the caller specifies the ID number for the new
  mem_ctl_info structure.  Platform-specific code should be able to assign the
  ID numbers in a platform-specific manner.  For instance, on Opteron it makes
  sense to have the ID of the mem_ctl_info structure match the ID of the node
  that the memory controller belongs to.

2 Modify callers of edac_mc_add_mc() so they use the new semantics.

Change MC drivers from using CVS revision strings for their version number,
Now each driver has its own local string.

Remove some PCI dependencies from the core EDAC module.  Made the code 'struct
device' centric instead of 'struct pci_dev' Most of the code changes here are
from a patch by Dave Jiang.  It may be best to eventually move the
PCI-specific code into a separate source file.

- Fix code so we always hold mem_ctls_mutex while we are stepping
  through the list of mem_ctl_info structures.  Otherwise bad things
  may happen if one task is stepping through the list while another
  task is modifying it.  We may eventually want to use reference
  counting to manage the mem_ctl_info structures.  In the meantime we
  may as well fix this bug.

- Don't disable interrupts while we are walking the list of
  mem_ctl_info structures in check_mc_devices().  This is unnecessary.

- After we unregister a kobject, wait for our kobject release method
  to call complete().  This causes us to wait until the kobject
  reference count reaches 0.  Otherwise, a task accessing the EDAC
  sysfs interface can hold the reference count above 0 until after the
  EDAC module has been unloaded.  When the reference count finally
  drops to 0, this will result in an attempt to call our release
  method inside the EDAC module after the module has already been
  unloaded.

  This isn't the best fix, since a process can get stuck sleeping forever
  uninterruptibly if the user does the following:

      rmmod my_module < /sys/my_sysfs/file

  I'll go back and implement a better fix later.  However this should
  be ok for now.

- Call edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device() from edac_mc_del_mc() rather
  than from edac_mc_free().  Since edac_mc_add_mc() calls
  edac_create_sysfs_mci_device(), edac_mc_del_mc() should call
  edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device().

- Remove calls to kobject_init().  These are unnecessary because
  kobject_register() calls kobject_init().

- Remove extra calls to kobject_put().  When we call
  kobject_unregister(), this releases our reference to the kobject.
  The extra calls to kobject_put() may cause the reference count to
  drop to 0 while a kobject is still in use.

This is part 1 of a 2-part patch set.  The code changes are split into
two parts to make the patches more readable.

Move complete_mc_list_del() and del_mc_from_global_list() so we can
call del_mc_from_global_list() from edac_mc_add_mc() without forward
declarations.  Perhaps using forward declarations would be better?
I'm doing things this way because the rest of the code is missing
them.

- Disable the EDAC sysfs code.  The sysfs interface that EDAC presents to
  user space needs more thought, and is likely to change substantially.
  Therefore disable it for now so users don't start depending on it in its
  current form.

- Disable the default behavior of calling panic() when an uncorrectible
  error is detected (since for now, there is no sysfs interface that allows
  the user to configure this behavior).

Disable (via ugly #if 0's) the 3 sysfs files that I think by now we all
agree are very much wrong.  These files shouldn't become part of the ABI by
the 2.6.16 release, so I rather have this minimal patch merged to disable
them for now, the real fix can then come during the 2.6.17 devel window.

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.

  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.
