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.
Russell, Thanks for fixing it up. Since you're at it, Please replace the
maintainer to yourself. Also, the components mentioned in this file are
listed in alphabetic order according to their names. As the name of EEH
is changed, it would be put in front of "Extended Verification Module (EVM)".
I agree with Michael as discussed in another thread: we're going to use
"enhanced", not "extended" though some chip datasheet (P7IOC) talks about
"extended error handling".

Russell, please change the maintainer to you and repost.

I don't know what kind of things parse MAINTAINERS, and if there's a chance
this will break them.  Also, the powerpc tree *is* the right place to send
this, right?
