When PE is created, its primary bus is cached to pe->bus. At later point, the cached primary bus is returned from eeh_pe_bus_get(). However, we could get stale cached primary bus and run into kernel crash in one case: full hotplug as part of fenced PHB error recovery releases all PCI busses under the PHB at unplugging time and recreate them at plugging time. pe->bus is still dereferencing the PCI bus that was released. This adds another PE flag (EEH_PE_PRI_BUS) to represent the validity of pe->bus. pe->bus is updated when its first child EEH device is online and the flag is set. Before unplugging in full hotplug for error recovery, the flag is cleared.
