Hmm, so Arnd was right about this being the wrong direction we're
chasing. We should rather be exporting a bunch of EDAC debugfs wrappers
which EDAC drivers can call instead of exposing edac_debugfs itself.

And this is much better and the right(tm) approach IMO. So I went
and hacked it in, it builds on those !x86 targets (as far as my
cross-compilers are concerned, build succeeds :-)).

So here it is as a follow-up to this message.
