The Computer memory terminology has changed with time since EDAC was
originally written: new concepts were introduced, and some things have
different meanings, depending on the memory architecture.
Improve the definition of all related terms.
Also, describe each memory type in a more detailed fashion.
No functional changes. Just comments were touched.

The <linux/device.h> header includes a lot of stuff, and
it in turn gets a lot of use just for the basic "struct device"
which appears so often.
Clean up the users as follows:
1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer
in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that.
2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply
delete the include altogether.
3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before
being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h
4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit
dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding
the required header(s).
Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be
present have already been dealt with in advance.
Total removals from #1 and #2: 51. Total additions coming
from #3: 9. Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7.
As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives
about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/*

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

As we'll need to use those structs for trace functions, they should
be on a more public place. So, move struct mem_ctl_info & friends
to edac.h.
No functional changes on this patch.

Move toplevel sysfs class to the stub and make it available to
non-modularized code too. Add proper refcounting of its users and move
the registration functionality into the reference counting routines.

I implemented opstate_init() as a inline function in linux/edac.h.
added calling opstate_init() to:
i82443bxgx_edac.c
i82860_edac.c
i82875p_edac.c
i82975x_edac.c
I wrote a fixed patch of
edac-fix-module-initialization-on-several-modules.patch,
and tested building 2.6.25-rc7 with applying this. It was succeed.
I think the patch is now correct.

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.
