[PATCH EDAC 13/13] ghes_edac: Improve driver's printk messages

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
Date: Fri Feb 15 2013 - 08:09:09 EST


Provide a better infrastructure for printk's inside the driver:
- use edac_dbg() for debug messages;
- standardize the usage of pr_info();
- provide warning about the risk of relying on this
driver.

While here, changes the size of a fake memory to 1 page. This is
as good or as bad as 1000 pages, but it is easier for userspace to
detect, as I don't expect that any machine implementing GHES would
provide just 1 page available ;)
