When a PCI device driver does not support PCI error recovery,
the powerpc/pseries code takes a walk through a branch of code
that resets the failure counter. Because of this, if a broken
PCI card is present, the kernel will attempt to reset it an
infinite number of times. (This is annoying but mostly harmless:
each reset takes about 10-20 seconds, and uses almost no CPU time).
This patch preserves the failure count across resets.

The current PCI error recovery system keeps track of the number of PCI card
resets, and refuses to bring a card back up if this number is too large.
The goal of doing this was to avoid an infinite loop of resets if a card is
obviously dead. However, if the failures are rare, but the machine has a
high uptime, this mechanism might still be triggered; this is too harsh.
This patch will avoids this problem by decrementing the fail count after an
hour. Thus, as long as a pci card BSOD's less than 6 times an hour, it
will continue to be reset indefinitely. If it's failure rate is greater
than that, it will be taken off-line permanently.
This patch is larger than it might otherwise be because it changes
indentation by removing a pointless while-loop. The while loop is not
needed, as the handler is invoked once fo each event (by schedule_work());
the loop is leftover cruft from an earlier implementation.

The current code prints an ambiguous message if the recovery
of a failed PCI device fails. Give this special case its own

239-eeh-multifunction-consolidate.patch
New-style firmware will often place multiple different functions
under a non-EEH-aware parent. However, these devices might share
a common PE "partition endpoint" and config address, ad thus any
EEH events will affect all of the devices in common. This patch
makes the effort to find all of these common devices and handle
them together.

If the firmware is unable to reset the PCI slot for some reason, then
don't attempt any further recovery steps after that point. Instead,
mark the device as permanently failed.

Various PCI bus errors can be signaled by newer PCI controllers. The
core error recovery routines are architecture dependent. This patch adds
a recovery infrastructure for the PPC64 pSeries systems.
