On PowerNV platform, EEH errors are reported by IO accessors or poller
driven by interrupt. After the PE is isolated, we won't produce EEH
event for the PE. The current implementation has possibility of EEH
event lost in this way:
The interrupt handler queues one "special" event, which drives the poller.
EEH thread doesn't pick the special event yet. IO accessors kicks in, the
frozen PE is marked as "isolated" and EEH event is queued to the list.
EEH thread runs because of special event and purge all existing EEH events.
However, we never produce an other EEH event for the frozen PE. Eventually,
the PE is marked as "isolated" and we don't have EEH event to recover it.
The patch fixes the issue to keep EEH events for PEs that have been
marked as "isolated" with the help of additional "force" help to
eeh_remove_event().

On PowerNV platform, we might run into the situation where subsequent
events are duplicated events of former one, which is being processed.
For the case, we need the function implemented by the patch to purge
EEH events accordingly.

We possiblly have multiple kthreads running for multiple EEH errors
(events) and use one spinlock to make the process of handling those
EEH events serialized. That's unnecessary and the patch creates only
one kthread, which is started during EEH core initialization time in
eeh_init(). A new semaphore introduced to count the number of existing
EEH events in the queue and the kthread waiting on the semaphore.

The patch reworks the current implementation so that the eeh errors
will be handled basing on PE instead of eeh device.

The original implementation builds EEH event based on EEH device.
We already had dedicated struct to depict PE. It's reasonable to
build EEH event based on PE.

The original EEH implementation is heavily depending on struct pci_dn.
We have to put EEH related information to pci_dn. Actually, we could
split struct pci_dn so that the EEH sensitive information to form an
individual struct, then EEH looks more independent.
The patch replaces pci_dn with eeh_dev for EEH aux components like
event and driver. Also, the eeh_event struct has been adjusted for
a little bit since eeh_dev has linked the associated FDT (Flat Device
Tree) node and PCI device. It's not necessary for eeh_event struct to
trace FDT node and PCI device. We can just simply to trace eeh_dev in
eeh_event.
The patch also renames function pcid_name() to eeh_pcid_name(), which
should be missed in the previous patch where the EEH aux components
have been cleaned up.

There're several EEH aux components and the patch does some cleanup
for them so that they look more clean.
* Duplicated comments have been removed from the header file.
* Comments have been reorganized so that it looks more clean.
* The leading comments of functions are adjusted for a little
bit so that the result of "make pdfdocs" would be more
unified.
* Function calls "xxx ()" has been replaced by "xxx()".

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
