Subject: [PATCH EDAC 13/13] ghes_edac: Improve driver's printk messages
Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2013 10:45:01 -0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <30bb26a76d98f876648020517cd38a4884626f44.1360931635.git.mchehab@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1360931635.git.mchehab@redhat.com>

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 ;)
