Untill v2.6.27 you can find corresponding dts content such as cpu-error,
sram-ctrl, pci-error and mem-ctrl, in file, prpmc2800.dts. All events are
handled on EDAC, error detection and reporting, as an unified mode. So you can
track the directory drivers/edac/ for more information. I think these are not
upgraded completely for v2.6.24.
