I think that it makes sense to move MCA bits into arch/x86, but I agree
with Tony: generally speaking, RAS is not even x86 specific.

It seems to make more sense to rename drivers/edac to drivers/ras and put
the RAS menu there, even if the actual support for the AMD and Intel MCA
RAS stuff is kept inside arch/x86/...
