+=======================================================================
+NEHALEM USAGE OF EDAC APIs
+
+This chapter documents some EXPERIMENTAL mappings for EDAC API to handle
+Nehalem EDAC driver. They will likely be changed on future versions
+of the driver.
+
+Due to the way Nehalem exports Memory Controller data, some adjustments
+were done at i7core_edac driver. This chapter will cover those differences
+
+1) On Nehalem, there are one Memory Controller per Quick Patch Interconnect
+   (QPI). At the driver, the term "socket" means one QPI. This is
+   associated with a physical CPU socket.
+
+   Each MC have 3 physical read channels, 3 physical write channels and
+   3 logic channels. The driver currenty sees it as just 3 channels.
+   Each channel can have up to 3 DIMMs.
+
+   The minimum known unity is DIMMs. There are no information about csrows.
+   As EDAC API maps the minimum unity is csrows, the driver sequencially
+   maps channel/dimm into different csrows.
+
+   For example, suposing the following layout:
+	Ch0 phy rd0, wr0 (0x063f4031): 2 ranks, UDIMMs
+	  dimm 0 1024 Mb offset: 0, bank: 8, rank: 1, row: 0x4000, col: 0x400
+	  dimm 1 1024 Mb offset: 4, bank: 8, rank: 1, row: 0x4000, col: 0x400
+        Ch1 phy rd1, wr1 (0x063f4031): 2 ranks, UDIMMs
+	  dimm 0 1024 Mb offset: 0, bank: 8, rank: 1, row: 0x4000, col: 0x400
+	Ch2 phy rd3, wr3 (0x063f4031): 2 ranks, UDIMMs
+	  dimm 0 1024 Mb offset: 0, bank: 8, rank: 1, row: 0x4000, col: 0x400
+   The driver will map it as:
+	csrow0: channel 0, dimm0
+	csrow1: channel 0, dimm1
+	csrow2: channel 1, dimm0
+	csrow3: channel 2, dimm0
+
+exports one
+   DIMM per csrow.
+
+   Each QPI is exported as a different memory controller.
+
+2) Nehalem MC has the hability to generate errors. The driver implements this
+   functionality via some error injection nodes:
+
+   For injecting a memory error, there are some sysfs nodes, under
+   /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc?/:
+
+   inject_addrmatch/*:
+      Controls the error injection mask register. It is possible to specify
+      several characteristics of the address to match an error code:
+         dimm = the affected dimm. Numbers are relative to a channel;
+         rank = the memory rank;
+         channel = the channel that will generate an error;
+         bank = the affected bank;
+         page = the page address;
+         column (or col) = the address column.
+      each of the above values can be set to "any" to match any valid value.
+
+      At driver init, all values are set to any.
+
+      For example, to generate an error at rank 1 of dimm 2, for any channel,
+      any bank, any page, any column:
+		echo 2 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_addrmatch/dimm
+		echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_addrmatch/rank
+
+	To return to the default behaviour of matching any, you can do:
+		echo any >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_addrmatch/dimm
+		echo any >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_addrmatch/rank
+
+   inject_eccmask:
+       specifies what bits will have troubles,
+
+   inject_section:
+       specifies what ECC cache section will get the error:
+		3 for both
+		2 for the highest
+		1 for the lowest
+
+   inject_type:
+       specifies the type of error, being a combination of the following bits:
+		bit 0 - repeat
+		bit 1 - ecc
+		bit 2 - parity
+
+       inject_enable starts the error generation when something different
+       than 0 is written.
+
+   All inject vars can be read. root permission is needed for write.
+
+   Datasheet states that the error will only be generated after a write on an
+   address that matches inject_addrmatch. It seems, however, that reading will
+   also produce an error.
+
+   For example, the following code will generate an error for any write access
+   at socket 0, on any DIMM/address on channel 2:
+
+   echo 2 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_addrmatch/channel
+   echo 2 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_type
+   echo 64 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_eccmask
+   echo 3 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_section
+   echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_enable
+   dd if=/dev/mem of=/dev/null seek=16k bs=4k count=1 >& /dev/null
+
+   For socket 1, it is needed to replace "mc0" by "mc1" at the above
+   commands.
+
+   The generated error message will look like:
+
+   EDAC MC0: UE row 0, channel-a= 0 channel-b= 0 labels "-": NON_FATAL (addr = 0x0075b980, socket=0, Dimm=0, Channel=2, syndrome=0x00000040, count=1, Err=8c0000400001009f:4000080482 (read error: read ECC error))
+
+3) Nehalem specific Corrected Error memory counters
+
+   Nehalem have some registers to count memory errors. The driver uses those
+   registers to report Corrected Errors on devices with Registered Dimms.
+
+   However, those counters don't work with Unregistered Dimms. As the chipset
+   offers some counters that also work with UDIMMS (but with a worse level of
+   granularity than the default ones), the driver exposes those registers for
+   UDIMM memories.
+
+   They can be read by looking at the contents of all_channel_counts/
+
+   $ for i in /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/all_channel_counts/*; do echo $i; cat $i; done
+	/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/all_channel_counts/udimm0
+	0
+	/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/all_channel_counts/udimm1
+	0
+	/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/all_channel_counts/udimm2
+	0
+
+   What happens here is that errors on different csrows, but at the same
+   dimm number will increment the same counter.
+   So, in this memory mapping:
+	csrow0: channel 0, dimm0
+	csrow1: channel 0, dimm1
+	csrow2: channel 1, dimm0
+	csrow3: channel 2, dimm0
+   The hardware will increment udimm0 for an error at the first dimm at either
+	csrow0, csrow2  or csrow3;
+   The hardware will increment udimm1 for an error at the second dimm at either
+	csrow0, csrow2  or csrow3;
+   The hardware will increment udimm2 for an error at the third dimm at either
+	csrow0, csrow2  or csrow3;
+
+4) Standard error counters
+
+   The standard error counters are generated when an mcelog error is received
+   by the driver. Since, with udimm, this is counted by software, it is
+   possible that some errors could be lost. With rdimm's, they displays the
+   contents of the registers
