Hi Gavin,
You don't need my ack for any of these, and I assume you'll merge them
through the powerpc tree.
Minor comments below, feel free to ignore them.

Since you *always* allocate the event when allocating the php_slot,
making the event a member of php_slot (instead of keeping a pointer to
it) would simplify your memory management a bit.
It seems to be the style in this file to use "unlikely" liberally, but
I really doubt there's any performance consideration in this code. To
me it adds more clutter than usefulness.

I didn't realize that this is some sort of hybrid of native PCIe
hotplug and PowerNV-specific stuff. Wonder if there's any opportunity
to combine with or leverage pciehp. That seems pretty blue-sky
though, since there's so much PowerNV special sauce here.
