The existing vfio_pci_open() fails if there is no EEH support for PCI. This breaks POWER7's P5IOC2 PHB support which this patch brings back. It is a warning because this should not normally happen on supported configurations such as POWER8+IODA so we always want to see it in dmesg. It is _once() as the message may be triggered by non-privileged userspace and we do not want to pollute dmesg.

Now the next question, what's the point of vfio_spapr_pci_eeh_open() returning a value? Couldn't it return void now and this warning can go into eeh specific code? Thanks, Alex
