Subject: [PATCH 3/3] EDAC Add e752x parameter for sysbus_parity selection

From:	Peter Tyser <ptyser@...-inc.com>

This patch adds a module parameter "sysbus_parity" to allow forcing system bus parity error
 checking on or off.  It also adds support to automatically disable system bus parity errors for
 processors which do not support it.

If the sysbus_parity parameter is specified, sysbus parity detection will be forced on or off.  If
 it is not specified, the driver will attempt to look at the CPU identifier string and determine
 if the CPU supports system bus parity.  A blacklist was used instead of a whitelist so that system
 bus parity would be enabled by default and to minimize the chances of breaking things for those
 people already using the driver which for some reason have a processor that does not have a valid
 CPU identifier string.
