PATCH 1/1 move edac.txt two levels up

There's no reason for edac.txt for being at this unusual place.

Re: [2.6 patch] move edac.txt DOCUMENTATION two levels up

Interesting

At the time I submitted it there was a big discussion on just how messed up the documentation directory was, inconsistent and not well laid out. Then more discussion on how it could be laid out in relation to where various subsystem were laid out (ie drivers doc directory like there was a drivers src directory and the like).

Therefore I placed it following that pattern.

So what I am hearing is that documentation for a subsystem should just continue to be dumped into one directory with everything else.

Okay, if that is the goal, I am fine with, but things are pretty jumbled up in there. I will know where it is at least.

The current status quo is that everything is in one directory.

If someone wants to put more structure into Documentation/ that would be fine with me, but edac.txt being the only file under Documentation/drivers/ doesn't make sense and only makes it harder to find this file.
