Looks good, but some comments, below.

I don't think the function name is very good; it does check the slot but
it doesn't tell you what a true result means -- but I don't see an
obviously great alternative either. If it can return false positives, it's
really testing for empty so maybe 'eeh_slot_definitely_empty()' or
'eeh_slot_maybe_populated()'?

In other parts of the EEH code we do a get_device() on edev->pdev before
passing it around, it might be good to do that here too.

Does this handle an empty, but frozen, PHB correctly? (Can that happen?)
