    edac: change the mem allocation scheme to make Documentation/kobject.txt happy · de3910eb
    Mauro Carvalho Chehab authored
    
    
    Kernel kobjects have rigid rules: each container object should be
    dynamically allocated, and can't be allocated into a single kmalloc.
    
    EDAC never obeyed this rule: it has a single malloc function that
    allocates all needed data into a single kzalloc.
    
    As this is not accepted anymore, change the allocation schema of the
    EDAC *_info structs to enforce this Kernel standard.
