From: Doug Thompson <[email protected]>
EDAC has a foundation to perform software memory scrubbing, but it
requires a per architecture (atomic_scrub) function for performing an atomic
update operation. Under X86, this is done with a
lock: add [addr],0
in the file asm-x86/edac.h
This patch provides the MIPS arch with that atomic function, atomic_scrub() in
asm-mips/edac.h
