edac.h: Add generic layers for describing a memory location

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.
