In the refactoring of edac_mc.c into several subsystem files,
the header file edac_mc.h became meaningless. A new header file
edac_core.h was created. All the files that previously included
"edac_mc.h" are changed to include "edac_core.h".

Provides a way for NMI reported errors on x86 to notify the EDAC
subsystem pending ECC errors by writing to a software state variable.

Here's the reworked patch. I added an EDAC stub to the kernel so we can
have variables that are in the kernel even if EDAC is a module. I also
implemented the idea of using the chip driver to select error detection
mode via module parameter and eliminate the kernel compile option.
Please review/test. Thx!

Also, I only made changes to some of the chipset drivers since I am
unfamiliar with the other ones. We can add similar changes as we go.

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.

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'.
