    Subject[PATCH EDAC v26 06/66] edac.h: Add generic layers for describing a memory location
    Date
    The edac core were written with the idea that memory controllers
    are able to directly access csrows, and that the channels are
    used inside a csrows select.

    This is not true for FB-DIMM and RAMBUS memory controllers.

    Also, some recent advanced memory controllers don't present a per-csrows
    view. Instead, they view memories as DIMMs, instead of ranks, accessed
    via csrow/channel.

    So, changes are needed in order to allow the EDAC core to
    work with all types of architectures.

    In preparation for handling non-csrows based memory controllers,
    add some memory structs and a macro:

    enum hw_event_mc_err_type: describes the type of error
    (corrected, uncorrected, fatal)

    To be used by the new edac_mc_handle_error function;

    enum edac_mc_layer: describes the type of a given memory
    architecture layer (branch, channel, slot, csrow).

    struct edac_mc_layer: describes the properties of a memory
    layer (type, size, and if the layer
    will be used on a virtual csrow.

    EDAC_DIMM_PTR() - as the number of layers can vary from 1 to 3,
    this macro converts from an address with up to 3 layers into
    a linear address.
