The edac_layer_name[]'s are single words of a couple of letters and the
pos is a number. The buffer we pass in is at least 80 chars and in one
place even a PAGE_SIZE.

But in general, this is just silly with the buffers on stack and
printing into them.

It would be much better to opencode that loop in
edac_dimm_info_location() and simply dump those layer names at the call
sites. And then kill that silly edac_dimm_info_location() function. See
below for example.

And then since two call sites do edac_dbg(), you can put that in a
function edac_dbg_dump_dimm_location() or so and call it and not care
about any buffer lengths and s*printf's and so on.

Right?
