Sam Bobroff 1ef52073fd powerpc/eeh: Improve recovery of passed-through devices
Currently, the EEH recovery process considers passed-through devices
as if they were not EEH-aware, which can cause them to be removed as
part of recovery.  Because device removal requires cooperation from
the guest, this may lead to the process stalling or deadlocking.
Also, if devices are removed on the host side, they will be removed
from their IOMMU group, making recovery in the guest impossible.

Therefore, alter the recovery process so that passed-through devices
are not removed but are instead left frozen (and marked isolated)
until the guest performs it's own recovery.  If firmware thaws a
passed-through PE because it's parent PE has been thawed (because it
was not passed through), re-freeze it.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
