Subject: [013/101] powerpc/pci: Check devices status property when scanning OF tree

2.6.33-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Sonny Rao <sonnyrao@...ibm.com>

commit 5b339bdf164d8aee394609768f7e2e4415b0252a upstream.

We ran into an issue where it looks like we're not properly ignoring a
pci device with a non-good status property when we walk the device tree
and instanciate the Linux side PCI devices.

However, the EEH init code does look for the property and disables EEH
on these devices. This leaves us in an inconsistent where we are poking
at a supposedly bad piece of hardware and RTAS will block our config
cycles because EEH isn't enabled anyway.
