Subject: [PATCH 3/4] include asm-mips add missing edac h file

From:	Doug Thompson <dougthompson@...ssion.h>

EDAC has a foundation to perform software memory scrubbing, but it
requires a per architecture (atomic_scrub) function for performing an atomic
update operation.  Under X86, this is done with a 

lock:  add  [addr],0

in the file asm-x86/edac.h

This patch provides the MIPS arch with that atomic function, atomic_scrub() in

asm-mips/edac.h
