edac: move documentation ABI to ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-edac
The EDAC MC API is currently stored at the wrong place. Move the parts of the EDAC MC ABI that will be kept to ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-edac. The Date: field were added based on git timestamps for the git commit patches that added the functionality at edac.txt.

What: /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/reset_counters

Contact: linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
|

Description: This write-only control file will zero all the statistical
|
||||
counters for UE and CE errors on the given memory controller.
|
||||
Zeroing the counters will also reset the timer indicating how
|
||||
long since the last counter were reset. This is useful for
|
||||
computing errors/time. Since the counters are always reset
|
||||
at driver initialization time, no module/kernel parameter
|
||||
is available.

Contact: linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
|

Description: Read/Write attribute file that controls memory scrubbing.
|

The scrubbing rate used by the memory controller is set by
|
||||
writing a minimum bandwidth in bytes/sec to the attribute file.
|
||||
The rate will be translated to an internal value that gives at
|
||||
least the specified rate.
|
||||
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.
