The original PCI error recovery functionality was for the powerpc-specific
IBM EEH feature.  PCIe subsequently added some similar features, including
AER and DPC, that can be used on any architecture.

We want the generic PCI core error handling support to work with all of
these features.  Driver error recovery callbacks should be independent of
which feature the platform provides.

Add the generic PCI core error recovery files to the powerpc EEH
MAINTAINERS entry so the powerpc folks will be copied on changes to the
generic PCI error handling strategy.

I really want to make sure the powerpc folks are plugged into any PCI core
error handling discussions.  Please let me know if there's a better way
than this patch, or if there are other people who should be added.

Yeah this is a good option.

We powerpc folks also need to do a better job of keeping an eye on PCI
patches, I've asked more of us to subscribe to linux-pci.

cheers
