  • 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.
