Edac: Add ABI Documentation for the new device nodes
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*/*).

Reading the file will return the actual scrubbing rate employed.
If configuration fails or memory scrubbing is not implemented,
the value of the attribute file will be -1.

+Date: April 2012

+Description: This attribute file displays the information about the last
+ available memory slot in this memory controller. It is used by
+ userspace tools in order to display the memory filling layout.

+ linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
+Description: This attribute file will display the size of dimm or rank.
+ 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.

+ mean a Chipkill with x4 DRAM.

+ linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
+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.
