The split was due to my suggestion to Yash, I think.  The motivation was 
to decouple the L2 cache controller driver's journey upstream from the 
EDAC driver's upstream path.  The patches will go up via separate trees, 
so the idea was to avoid blocking the L2 cache controller driver on the 
EDAC driver review path.

Thanks for your review,
