Please review those patches at your available time. The left patches shouldn't
be changed or with minor changes without affecting the whole logic. Thanks in
advance for your time :-)

The target of v5 is mainly for following aspects according to your comments:

- Make EEH core running with single-kthread.
- Add new eeh_ops::next_error() for PowerNV platform to use. Almost all stuff
  of original pci-err.c moved to the backend.
- Hanle special event (without binding PE) in EEH core. The special events
  are purely come from PowerNV platform (error interrupts).


Thanks,
Gavin
