Gavin, thanks very much for the clarification. So, we can interchange 
edev->config_addr with pdn->pci_ext_config_space ?
This would solve the issue with DDW being enabled when EEH is not.

I hit the issue on PowerVM (PHyp). I wasn't able to perform hotplug in 
qemu that time I was testing this - I can re-test on qemu. Can we use 
pci_dn config address in qemu guest too?

Cheers,
