drivers/edac: add new nmi rescan
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.
