  x86, MCA: Finish mca_config conversion (2012-10-26 14:37:58 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Rework all config variables used throughout the MCA code and collect
them together into a mca_config struct. This keeps them tightly and
neatly packed together instead of spilled all over the place.

Then, convert those which are used as booleans into real booleans and
save some space.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Borislav Petkov (5):
      drivers/base: Add a DEVICE_BOOL_ATTR macro
      x86, MCA: Convert dont_log_ce, banks and tolerant
      x86, MCA: Convert rip_msr, mce_bootlog, monarch_timeout
      x86, MCA: Convert the next three variables batch
      x86, MCA: Finish mca_config conversion
