Edac: Add ABI Documentation for the new device nodes

Browse source 
The EDAC ABI were extended to add support for per-DIMM or per-rank
information and silkscreen labels. Properly document them.

Most of the comments there came from edac.txt descriptions of the
fields that are part of the legacy csrowX ABI (e. g.
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/csrow*/*).

@ -74,3 +74,67 @@ Description: Read/Write attribute file that controls memory scrubbing.
Reading the file will return the actual scrubbing rate employed.
If configuration fails or memory scrubbing is not implemented,
the value of the attribute file will be -1.

Description: This attribute file displays the information about the last
available memory slot in this memory controller. It is used by
userspace tools in order to display the memory filling layout.

linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
Description: This attribute file will display the size of dimm or rank.
For dimm*/size, this is the size, in MB of the DIMM memory
stick. For rank*/size, this is the size, in MB for one rank
of the DIMM memory stick. On single rank memories (1R), this
is also the total size of the dimm. On dual rank (2R) memories,
this is half the size of the total DIMM memories.

Description: This attribute file will display what type of Error detection
and correction is being utilized. For example: S4ECD4ED would
mean a Chipkill with x4 DRAM.
What: /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/(dimm|rank)*/dimm_label
Date: April 2012
Contact: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
Description: This control file allows this DIMM to have a label assigned
to it. With this label in the module, when errors occur
the output can provide the DIMM label in the system log.
This becomes vital for panic events to isolate the
cause of the UE event.
DIMM Labels must be assigned after booting, with information
that correctly identifies the physical slot with its
silk screen label. This information is currently very
motherboard specific and determination of this information
must occur in userland at this time.

currently on this csrow. Normally, either buffered or
unbuffered memory (for example, Unbuffered-DDR3).
