There are 2 files for doing the error injection (altera_l2_edac.c and 
altera_ocram_edac.c) and then 1 file for the irq handling and probe 
(altera_edac_mgr.c).

The L2 cache and the On-Chip RAM drivers were based on the Calxeda L2 
cache driver and when written as 2 separate files, the resulting code 
was very similar from the probe and error handling standpoint so the 
common code was combined (altera_edac_mgr.c).

The Memory Controller model was used for the SDRAM EDAC (altera_edac.c) 
since it matches the DIMM model.  The MC model didn't seem to fit the 
discrete memories like OCRAM and L2 cache (these files) so I used the 
EDAC device model which agreed with the Calxeda L2 cache driver.

Should I move the EDAC Device probe and error handling from 
altera_edac_mgr.c to altera_edac.c? Can I mix the MC and Device models 
in the same file?

Thanks for reviewing and for commenting.
