Subject: [PATCH 00/11] EDAC: Remove edac_stub.c

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

This was an ancient hack to hand in hw errors reported through an NMI
into EDAC. And what a hack it was - it required a piece of the EDAC
functionality to be always built-in and it called into it from NMI
context.

We could've simply converted it to a notifier and put some lipstick on
the pig but the two drivers which used it are for hardware which is
pretty much obsolete now. So we can outright remove it - old hardware
can stick with old software if they really really need it.

Borislav Petkov (11):
  EDAC, highbank: Align Makefile directives
  x86/nmi, EDAC: Get rid of DRAM error reporting thru PCI SERR NMI
  EDAC: Get rid of edac_handlers
  EDAC: Remove edac_err_assert
  EDAC: Move edac_op_state to edac_mc.c
  ACPI/extlog: Add EDAC dependency
  EDAC: Issue tracepoint only when it is defined
  EDAC: Remove EDAC_MM_EDAC
  EDAC: Update Kconfig help text
  EDAC: Delete edac_stub.c
  EDAC: Rename report status accessors
