Creating platform devices (memory controller, sram error registers, cpu error
registers, PCI error registers) for Error Detection and Correction (EDAC)
driver on the Marvell mv64x60 based platforms.

The platform devices allow the mv64x60 EDAC driver to detect errors from the
memory controller (ECC erorrs), SRAM controller, CPU data path error registers,
and PCI error registers. The errors are reported to syslog. Software ECC
scrubbing is provided. These replace the mv64x60 error handlers in the
ppc branch
They are being moved to EDAC subsystem in order to centralize error reporting. 

The error reporting can be triggered via interrupts from the mv64x60 bridge chip
or via polling mechanism provided by the EDAC core code.

The mv64x60 EDAC driver can be found at:
http://bluesmoke.sourceforge.net/

It's in development to be pushed into the kernel.
