Incredibly, IBM online documentation for EEH uses "extended error handling"
and "enhanced error handling" to refer to the same thing, in different
places.  In other parts of the kernel, namely the EEH documentation (found
in Documentation/powerpc/eeh-pci-error-recovery.txt), it's referred to as
"extended", and in my opinion "extended" makes more sense for what EEH
does.

The only place "enhanced error handling" shows up in the kernel is in
MAINTAINERS, so fix it.

Unfortunately the document that pretty much defines it (PAPR) uses "Enhanced":

  5.4.1 Enhanced I/O Error Handling (EEH) Option


And online I see that the AIX manuals use Enhanced:

  https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_72/com.ibm.aix.kernextc/eeh_intro.htm


So I'm going to nack this and ask you to send the inverse patch, that switches
the kernel references to Enhanced.

I don't know what kind of things parse MAINTAINERS, and if there's a chance
this will break them.

Only scripts/get_maintainer.pl that I know of, and I don't think it cares about
the heading much, so it would be safe to change.

Also, the powerpc tree *is* the right place to send this, right?

Yep, patches to MAINTAINERS for powerpc specific stuff should go via me.
