    [PATCH] EDAC: atomic scrub operations · 715b49ef

    EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset
    does not do the work automatically.  That means rewriting memory locations
    atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters.  That means we can't
    use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP
    
    This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently
    supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block.
    
    It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included
    before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32.
