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.

Fix xxx_probe1() functions so they call xxx_get_error_info() functions
to clear initial errors.  This is simpler and cleaner than duplicating
the low-level code for accessing PCI config space.

- 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.

By including version.h edac_mc was rebuilding on every incremental build.
Which defeats the point of incremental builds.

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.
