 At this time, a generic EEH recovery mechanism has been implemented,
 so that individual device drivers do not need to be modified to support
 EEH recovery.  This generic mechanism piggy-backs on the PCI hotplug
-infrastructure,  and percolates events up through the hotplug/udev
+infrastructure,  and percolates events up through the userspace/udev
 infrastructure.  Followiing is a detailed description of how this is
 accomplished.

 drivers/pci/hotplug/pSeries_pci.c, called handle_eeh_events().
 It saves the device BAR's and then calls rpaphp_unconfig_pci_adapter().
 This last call causes the device driver for the card to be stopped,
-which causes hotplug events to go out to user space. This triggers

 user-space scripts that might issue commands such as "ifdown eth0"
 for ethernet cards, and so on.  This handler then sleeps for 5 seconds,
 hoping to give the user-space scripts enough time to complete.
