Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Remove linux-edac

The commit

  4c5e70b9a427 ("MAINTAINERS: update HEST maintainership entries")

added a linux kernel mailing list (linux-edac) which gets CCed
automatically with qemu patches. This is absolutely confusing and it
should not happen. Qemu should have its own ras mailing list where stuff
like that goes.

Drop that list.

I was in vacations, so I only noticed this patch today.

We use linux-edac for userspace at least since Rasdaemon beginning,
so it was never a kernel-only ML. What happened in practice on the
recent times is that rasdaemon patches are usually pushed as PR
requests at github. Yet, still today, it is recommended to also
submit them to linux-edac ML:

	https://github.com/mchehab/rasdaemon#submitting-patches

Yet, I agree that having a separate ML for userspace RAS tools
makes sense. I'll check on a separate thread if we can create
one such list at vger.

Instead of adding a patch removing it, better to wait for the ML 
creation and then apply a QEMU patch changing it, and another one
to rasdaemon.

Mauro
