A couple of the EDAC drivers have a nice memdev_dmi_entry structure for
decoding DMI memory device entries.  Move the structure definition to
dmi.h so that it can be shared between those drivers and also other
parts of the kernel; the i915 graphics driver is going to need to use
this structure soon as well.

Looks good in principle, a few suggestions inline below:

As a member of the API of the dmi subsystem, this symbol should start
with dmi_. What about dmi_entry_memdev?

dmi_header is declared with __packed instead. I would appreciate
consistency within this header file, so please use __packed too.

decoding DMI memory device entries.  Move the structure definition to
dmi.h so that it can be shared between those drivers and also other
parts of the kernel; the i915 graphics driver is going to need to use
this structure soon as well.  As part of this move we rename the
structure s/memdev_dmi_entry/dmi_entry_memdev/ to ensure it has a proper
'dmi' prefix.

v2:
 - Rename structure to dmi_entry_memdev.  (Jean)
 - Use __packed instead of __attribute__((__packed__)) for consistency
   with the rest of the dmi.h header.  (Jean)

You do not need all of these changes. memdev_dmi_entry was both the
structure name and the variable name in the original code (something I
usually avoid, but C allows it.) Just because you renamed the structure
doesn't mean you have to rename the variable.

Other than that, looks good to me.

What happened to this patch? I never received v3. Is it sill needed?
