Subject[PATCH] [2/4] x86: MCE: Implement dynamic machine check banks support v5
Date

Impact: cleanup; making code future proof; memory saving on small systems

This patch replaces the hardcoded max number of machine check banks with
dynamic allocation depending on what the CPU reports. The sysfs
data structures and the banks array are dynamically allocated.

There is still a hard bank limit (128) because the mcelog protocol uses
banks >= 128 as pseudo banks to escape other events. But we expect
that 128 banks is beyond any reasonable CPU for now.

This supersedes an earlier patch by Venki, but it solves the problem
more completely by making the limit fully dynamic (upto the 128 boundary)

This saves some memory on machines with less than 6 banks because
they won't need sysdevs for unused ones and also allows to
use sysfs to control these banks on possible future CPUs with
more than 6 banks.

v2: Fix typo in initialization
v3: Fold fix banks message fix into this one.
v4: Fix cap init ordering
v5: Forward port to new patch order
