Hi Nish,

I understand that the major issue is this only patch. Leonardo can confirm here.
This patch fixes a QEMU bug. The backend vfio_eeh_container_op() communicates with host kernel for all EEH operations including retrieving PE's state. The function returns 0 (normal state) unconditionally when retrieving PE's state. That's why the frozen PE can't be detected by guest kernel.

Since this is an EEH issue, this is very POWER specific.
