I don't like the fact that we are exposing ->phb under the PEC model.
It looks like this is going to be a problem afterwards when defaults
are disabled.

We should move the setting of the PHB ID under pnv_pec_stk_realize()
before the PHB is realized and compute the id with :

        int phb_id = pnv_phb4_pec_get_phb_id(pec, stack->stack_no);

Thanks,

C.
