- * @mc_num:		Memory controller number
- * @n_layers:		Number of layers at the MC hierarchy
- * layers:		Describes each layer as seen by the Memory Controller
- * @size_pvt:		Size of private storage needed
- *
- *
- * FIXME: drivers handle multi-rank memories in different ways: some
- * drivers map multi-ranked DIMMs as one DIMM while others
- * as several DIMMs.
- *
- * Everything is kmalloc'ed as one big chunk - more efficient.
- * It can only be used if all structures have the same lifetime - otherwise
- * you have to allocate and initialize your own structures.

- * Use edac_mc_free() to free mc structures allocated by this function.
