The kernel already prints its build timestamp during boot, no need to
repeat it in random drivers and produce different object files each
time.

Due to the nature of i7core, we need to probe and attach all PCI
devices used by this driver during the first time probe is called.
However, PCI core will call the probe routine one time for each CPU
socket. If we return -EINVAL to those calls, it would seem that the
driver fails, when, in fact, there's no more devices left to initialize.

Changing the return code to -ENODEV solves this issue.

At pci_xeon_fixup(), it waits for a null-terminated table, while at
i7core_get_all_devices, it just do a for 0..ARRAY_SIZE. As other tables
are zero-terminated, change it to be terminate with 0 as well, and fixes
a bug where it may be running out of the table elements.

<title>i7core_edac: Avoid PCI refcount to reach zero on successive load/reload</title>

That's a nasty bug that took me a lot of time to track, and whose
solution took just one line to solve. The best fragrances and the worse
poisons are shipped on the smalest bottles.

The drivers/pci/quick.c implements the pci_get_device function. The normal
behavior is that you call it, the function returns you a pdev pointer
and increment pdev-&gt;kobj.kref.refcount of the pci device. However,
if you want to keep searching an object, you need to pass the previous
pdev function to the search.

When you use a not null pointer to pdev "from" field, pci_get_device
will decrement pdev-&gt;kobj.kref.refcount, assuming that the driver won't
be using the previous pdev.

The solution is simple: we just need to call pci_dev_get() manually,
for the pdev's that the driver will actually use.

Probably due to a bug or some testing logic at PCI level, device
refcount for &lt;bus&gt;:00.0 device is decremented at the end of the
pci_get_device, made by i7core_get_all_devices(). The fact is that
the first versions of the driver relied on those devices to probe
for Nehalem, but the current versions don't use it at all.

So, let's just remove those devices from the driver, making it simpler
and fixing the bug.
