    RAS: Add a Corrected Errors Collector · 011d8261

    Introduce a simple data structure for collecting correctable errors
    along with accessors. More detailed description in the code itself.
    
    The error decoding is done with the decoding chain now and
    mce_first_notifier() gets to see the error first and the CEC decides
    whether to log it and then the rest of the chain doesn't hear about it -
    basically the main reason for the CE collector - or to continue running
    the notifiers.
    
    When the CEC hits the action threshold, it will try to soft-offine the
    page containing the ECC and then the whole decoding chain gets to see
    the error.
