What it is pointed by a csrow/channel vector is a rank information, and
not a channel information.
On a traditional architecture, the memory controller directly access the
memory ranks, via chip select rows. Different ranks at the same DIMM is
selected via different chip select rows. So, typically, one
csrow/channel pair means one different DIMM.
On FB-DIMMs, there's a microcontroller chip at the DIMM, called Advanced
Memory Buffer (AMB) that serves as the interface between the memory
controller and the memory chips.
The AMB selection is via the DIMM slot, and not via a csrow.
It is up to the AMB to talk with the csrows of the DRAM chips.
So, the FB-DIMM memory controllers see the DIMM slot, and not the DIMM
rank. RAMBUS is similar.
Newer memory controllers, like the ones found on Intel Sandy Bridge and
Nehalem, even working with normal DDR3 DIMM's, don't use the usual
channel A/channel B interleaving schema to provide 128 bits data access.
Instead, they have more channels (3 or 4 channels), and they can use
several interleaving schemas. Such memory controllers see the DIMMs
directly on their registers, instead of the ranks, which is better for
the driver, as its main usageis to point to a broken DIMM stick (the
Field Repleceable Unit), and not to point to a broken DRAM chip.
The drivers that support such such newer memory architecture models
currently need to fake information and to abuse on EDAC structures, as
the subsystem was conceived with the idea that the csrow would always be
visible by the CPU.
To make things a little worse, those drivers don't currently fake
csrows/channels on a consistent way, as the concepts there don't apply
to the memory controllers they're talking with. So, each driver author
interpreted the concepts using a different logic.
In order to fix it, let's rename the data structure that points into a
DIMM rank to "rank_info", in order to be clearer about what's stored
there.
Latter patches will provide a better way to represent the memory
hierarchy for the other types of memory controller.

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.
