The patch adds new IOCTL command VFIO_EEH_INFO to VFIO container
to support EEH functionality for PCI devices, which have been
passed from host to guest via VFIO.

Is this really an "info" ioctl?
Yeah, "VFIO_EEH_INFO" isn't a good name. How about to have "VFIO_EEH_HANDLER" ?
VFIO_EEH_OP perhaps.  Thanks,
Ok. Will rename it to VFIO_EEH_OP in next revision.
Is there any benefit of a multiplexing EEH ioctl over just 7
individual ioctls?
One benefit is pass one data struct to the real handler implemented
in arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/eeh-vfio.c. With 7 commands, we
either passing "void *arg" + "command" to the handler, or export
7 functions with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

I just send RFCv4 out. VFIO_EEH_OP_{MAP, UNMAP} is removed there.

Thanks,
Gavin
