Lemme cut to the chase:

"Make the main workhorse the "count" functions which can log a @count
of errors. Have the current APIs edac_device_handle_{ce,ue}() call
the _count() variants and this way keep the exported symbols number
unchanged."

I want to see exactly *two* pairs of functions:

edac_device_handle_{ce,ue}_count	- logs a @count of errors
edac_device_handle_{ce,ue}		- logs a single error

Not three pairs. I.e., the "__" versions are not needed.

Works just the same with my version - single backport.
