The eeh_driver disables and offlines the PE permanently when it

The PE is only offline, so the device tree entries, eeh device
references are all intact till the real unplug of the device from
the guest/host takes place.
On pSeries, with a new hotplug of any PCI device, the drmgr initiates
a system-wide PCI rescan, which finds devices offlined by the eeh_driver
and there will be attempts to bring them online. This leads to
recurring EEHs either at the config read time itself or a bit
later depending on the type of the problem.

Applied to powerpc/fixes.
