    edac: Create a dimm struct and move the labels into it · a7d7d2e1

    The way a DIMM is currently represented implies that they're
    linked into a per-csrow struct. However, some drivers don't see
    csrows, as they're ridden behind some chip like the AMB's
    on FBDIMM's, for example.
    
    This forced drivers to fake^Wvirtualize a csrow struct, and to create
    a mess under csrow/channel original's concept.
    
    Move the DIMM labels into a per-DIMM struct, and add there
    the real location of the socket, in terms of csrow/channel.
    Latter patches will modify the location to properly represent the
    memory architecture.
    
    All other drivers will use a per-csrow type of location.
    Some of those drivers will require a latter conversion, as
    they also fake the csrows internally.
    
    TODO: While this patch doesn't change the existing behavior, on
    csrows-based memory controllers, a csrow/channel pair points to a memory
    rank. There's a known bug at the EDAC core that allows having different
    labels for the same DIMM, if it has more than one rank. A latter patch
    is need to merge the several ranks for a DIMM into the same dimm_info
    struct, in order to avoid having different labels for the same DIMM.
    
    The edac_mc_alloc() will now contain a per-dimm initialization loop that
    will be changed by latter patches in order to match other types of
    memory architectures.
