Such return codes wouldn't make any sense on this case. This script should not
be different than the one provided for bluetooth, where only a start method is
defined:

start()
{
	echo -n $"Enabling Bluetooth devices:"
	udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=bluetooth
	echo ""
	return 0
}

stop()
{
	# FIXME If somebody figures out how to disable the K* script
	echo -n "Stopping Bluetooth services:"
	echo ""
	return 0
}

It is just the same case: we just need to run edac-ctl during start method,
in order to load some parameters at the corresponding kernel driver. This script doesn't start any deamon that needs to be stopped. I think I'll rewrite
the init script to look more like the above, adding some fake methods for all
those restart methods that will just call edac-ctl whatever argument provided,
except for stop and usage.

New EDAC SysV script

New script that fulfills all requirements stated at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript#Initscripts_on_the_filesystem

Since this script just sends some data to EDAC kernel driver, there's no stop action, nor there is a "daemon status". So, all actions that asks for reload will just do the same action as "start": send the new memory labels table to the Kernel driver. "stop" and "status" will just return 0, as there's no way (nor make sense) to stop a non-daemon process.

New SysV script added at: edac-utils-0.9-11.2.el6.src.rpm

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
