edac: add e752x parameter for sysbus_parity selection
Add a module parameter "sysbus_parity" to allow forcing system bus parity error checking on or off. Also add support to automatically disable system bus parity errors for processors which do not support it. If the sysbus_parity parameter is specified, sysbus parity detection will be forced on or off. If it is not specified, the driver will attempt to look at the CPU identifier string and determine if the CPU supports system bus parity. A blacklist was used instead of a whitelist so that system bus parity would be enabled by default and to minimize the chances of breaking things for those people already using the driver which for some reason have a processor that does not have a valid CPU identifier string.
