At the moment, the way things work in PAPR is that the guest is responsible for querying the EEH state when something "looks" like an error (ie, getting ff's back). This is also how it works in pHyp. We have an interrupt path in the host when doing "native" EEH, and it would be nice to extend PAPR to also be able to shoot an event to the guest possibly using RTAS events, but let's get the basics working and upstream first.
