The set of constants for PE states defined in uapi/linux/vfio.h is
duplicated to uapi/asm/eeh.h. The patch removes the set from the
former.

How do you know that nobody depends on these defines?  I thought the
suggestion was to use the EEH_* defines for error injection, not to
remove existing VFIO_EEH_* defines.  You could certainly redefine these
in terms of EEH_* defines instead.  Thanks,
QEMU should be the first user to utilize the EEH capability exposed by
the host kernel, and I believe QEMU doesn't use those constants yet.
So it's right time to move those constants to uapi/asm/eeh.h. Once some
one starts to use them, it's impossible to do so.

Thanks,
Gavin
