One benefit is pass one data struct to the real handler implemented
in arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/eeh-vfio.c. With 7 commands, we
either passing "void *arg" + "command" to the handler, or export
7 functions with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().
I just send RFCv4 out. VFIO_EEH_OP_{MAP, UNMAP} is removed there.
