Hi,

Shlomo Pongratz  from Mellanox took a look on the patch, and we'd like 
to clarify with you something - OTOH you mention EEH (Extended Error 
Handling) error recovery which is a PPC related term mentioned in 
Documentation/powerpc/eeh-pci-error-recovery.txt, but OTHO you've 
implemented callbacks mentioned in the AER (Advanced Error Reporting) 
doc of Documentation/PCI/pcieaer-howto.txt, is there anything in the 
code you added which maybe implicitly assumes PPC arch?


Or.
