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.

Sure.

While I'm changing MAINTAINERS, what are your thoughts on renaming the EEH
entry from "ENHANCED ERROR HANDLING (EEH)" to something like "PCI EXTENDED
ERROR HANDLING (EEH)" or "EXTENDED ERROR HANDLING (EEH) FOR PCI" - so it's
clear it refers to PCI and not something more generic?

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?
