Subject: [PATCH] edac: Add a sysfs node to test the EDAC error report facility
Even on memory controllers that have memory injection, such functionality
can be disabled by BIOS during bootstrap, and it may not be possible to
enable it via BIOS setup.
So, as not all hardware supports error injection, add a mechanism to
allow testing the edac driver and the core.
This feature is only enabled when EDAC_DEBUG is equal to Y, so there's no
extra code for the production Kernels.
Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@...hat.com>

NOTE: This patch should be applied after the series that add proper support for
FB-DIMM, due to context changes.
