Yes, it's somewhat expensive.

I'm working on explicit PE support and hopefully, I can send out
the code next week for review. The basic idea is to introuce
struct eeh_pe and attached eeh_dev to the corresponding PE. In turn,
eeh core will use PE as parameter instead of current eeh_dev ;-)

I've sent patch again it and please take a look when you have time.
