PHB, PE (and by association MVE) numbers are printed as a mix of decimal
and hexadecimal throughout the kernel. This can be misleading, so make
them all hexadecimal.
Standardising on hex instead of dec because:
- PHB numbers are presented in hex in sysfs/debugfs (and lspci, etc)
- PE numbers are presented as hex in sysfs and parsed in hex in debugfs
The only place I think this could cause confusing are the messages during
boot, i.e.
pci 000a:01 : [PE# 000] Secondary bus 1 associated with PE#0
which can be a quick way to check PE numbers. pe_level_printk() will
only print two characters instead of three, so the above would be
pci 000a:01 : [PE# 00] Secondary bus 1 associated with PE#0
which gives a hint it's in hex.
