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
+Date:		January 2006
+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.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/seconds_since_reset
+Date:		January 2006
+Contact:	linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
+Description:	This attribute file displays how many seconds have elapsed
+		since the last counter reset. This can be used with the error
+		counters to measure error rates.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/mc_name
+Date:		January 2006
+Contact:	linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
+Description:	This attribute file displays the type of memory controller
+		that is being utilized.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/size_mb
+Date:		January 2006
+Contact:	linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
+Description:	This attribute file displays, in count of megabytes, of memory
+		that this memory controller manages.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/ue_count
+Date:		January 2006
+Contact:	linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
+Description:	This attribute file displays the total count of uncorrectable
+		errors that have occurred on this memory controller. If
+		panic_on_ue is set, this counter will not have a chance to
+		increment, since EDAC will panic the system
+
+What:		/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/ue_noinfo_count
+Date:		January 2006
+Contact:	linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
+Description:	This attribute file displays the number of UEs that have
+		occurred on this memory controller with no information as to
+		which DIMM slot is having errors.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/ce_count
+Date:		January 2006
+Contact:	linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
+Description:	This attribute file displays the total count of correctable
+		errors that have occurred on this memory controller. This
+		count is very important to examine. CEs provide early
+		indications that a DIMM is beginning to fail. This count
+		field should be monitored for non-zero values and report
+		such information to the system administrator.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/ce_noinfo_count
+Date:		January 2006
+Contact:	linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
+Description:	This attribute file displays the number of CEs that
+		have occurred on this memory controller wherewith no
+		information as to which DIMM slot is having errors. Memory is
+		handicapped, but operational, yet no information is available
+		to indicate which slot the failing memory is in. This count
+		field should be also be monitored for non-zero values.
+
+What:		/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/sdram_scrub_rate
+Date:		February 2007
+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.
