This interface is terrible.  A function named foo_enabled() should
return a bool, yes or no, don't try to overload it to also return a
version.  AFAICT, patch 2/2 breaks current users by changing the offset
of the union in struct vfio_eeh_pe_err.  Also, we generally pass group
file descriptors rather than a group ID because we can prove the
ownership of the group through the file descriptor and we don't need to
worry about races with the group because we can hold a reference to it.
