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.
