Debugging PCIE AER code can be very difficult because it is hard
to trigger various real hardware errors. This patch provide a
software based error injection tool, which can fake various PCIE
errors with a user space helper tool named "aer-inject". Which
can be gotten from:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/yhuang/
The patch fakes AER error by faking some PCIE AER related
registers and an AER interrupt for specified the PCIE device.

When the bus id part of error source id is equal to 0 or nosourceid=1,
make the kernel probe the AER status registers of all devices under the
root port to find the initial error reporter.

The 'use pci_find_ext_capability everywhere' cleanup brought a new bug,
which makes the AER stop working. Fix it by actually using find_ext_cap
instead of just find_cap. Drop the unused config space size define while
we're at it.

PCI-Express AER (Advanced Error Reporting) provides more robust error reporting.
The series of patches enable kernel support to AER.
The initial patches were written by Tom Long Nguyen. I ported them to the kernel
2.6.18-rc3. Many thanks to Rajesh Shah and Narayanan Chandramouli for their great
review comments and testing help.
Patch 1 consists of the pciaer-howto.txt document.
