[RESEND PATCH v3 0/9] Make ghes_edac a proper module

[Jia He]

Commit dc4e8c07e9e2 ("ACPI: APEI: explicit init of HEST and GHES in
apci_init()") introduced a bug that ghes_edac_register() would be invoked
before edac_init(). Because at that time, the bus "edac" hasn't been even
registered, this created sysfs /devices/mc0 instead of
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0 on an Ampere eMag server.

Changelog:
v3:
 - refine the commit logs
 - introduce ghes preferred and present flag (by Toshi)
 - move force_load to setup parameter
 - add the ghes_edac_preferred() check for x86/Arm edac drivers (incompleted list)
 
v2:
 - add acked-by tag of Patch 1 from Ard
 - split the notifier patch
 - add 2 patch to get regular drivers selected when ghes edac is not loaded
 - fix an errno in igen6 driver
 - add a patch to fix the sparse warning of ghes
 - refine the commit logs
