[PATCH EDAC v26 58/66] Edac: Add ABI Documentation for the new device nodes

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>]

The EDAC ABI were extended to add support for per-DIMM or per-rank
information and silkscreen labels. Properly document them.

Most of the comments there came from edac.txt descriptions of the
fields that are part of the legacy csrowX ABI (e. g.
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/csrow*/*).

+		For dimm*/size, this is the size, in MB of the DIMM memory
+		stick. For rank*/size, this is the size, in MB for one rank
+		of the DIMM memory stick. On single rank memories (1R), this
+		is also the total size of the dimm. On dual rank (2R) memories,
+		this is half the size of the total DIMM memories.

+Description:	This control file allows this DIMM to have a label assigned
+		to it. With this label in the module, when errors occur
+		the output can provide the DIMM label in the system log.
+		This becomes vital for panic events to isolate the
+		cause of the UE event.
+		DIMM Labels must be assigned after booting, with information
+		that correctly identifies the physical slot with its
+		silk screen label. This information is currently very
+		motherboard specific and determination of this information
+		must occur in userland at this time.
