The channel DIMM label does not seem to be used much in the edac code.
However, where it is used (in the core code), it is assumed to not have a
newline embedded. This leaves the sysfs file newline free which looks
funny when cat'ing it. Here we just add the trailing newline to the sysfs
chX_dimm_label output...
[Doug Thompson note: the DIMM label is one of the primary uses of EDAC.
User space daemon scripts, edac-utils@sourceforge, populate the DIMM label
fields, via /sys/devices/system/edac attributes, with the silk screen
labels of the motherboard in use. dmidecode access BIOS tables, but BIOS
tables are well known to be incorrect and useless in these respects.
edac-utils will strip off any newlines before its use of the output, when
displaying DIMM slot silk screen labels.

When updating the edac_mc_poll_msec module parameter from the sysfs
/sys/module/edac_core/parameters/edac_mc_poll_msec file, we don't update
the workq timers. So that, if we move from a big poll time to a small
one, the small one won't take effect until the big one has timed out.
Here we provide a new module parameter set method to call out to the
update routine. This brings the /sys/module/edac_core/parameters
functionality up to that provided by the /sys/drivers/system/edac/mc sysfs
module parameter files so that we can remove them or at least link to the
/sys/module files...

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset. This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.
This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

A kset should not have its name set directly, so dynamically set the
name at runtime.
This is needed to remove the static array in the kobject structure which

This fixes a deadlock that could occur on a 'setup' and 'teardown' sequence of
the workq for a edac_mc control structure instance. A similiar fix was
previously implemented for the edac_device code.
In addition, the edac_mc device code there was missing code to allow the workq
period valu to be altered via sysfs control.
This patch adds that fix on the code, and allows for the changing of the
period value as well.

This patch refactors the 'releasing' of kobjects for the edac_mc type of
device. The correct pattern of kobject release is followed.
As internal kobjs are allocated they bump a ref count on the top level kobj.
It in turn has a module ref count on the edac_core module. When internal
kobjects are released, they dec the ref count on the top level kobj. When the
top level kobj reaches zero, it decrements the ref count on the edac_core
object, allow it to be unloaded, as all resources have all now been released.

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'.
