By "legwork", I didn't mean just trying things to see whether they
seem to work.  I meant researching the history to find out *why* it's
designed the way it is so that when we change it, we don't break
things.

For example, these commits are obviously important to understand:

  aa8c6c93747f ("PCI PM: Restore standard config registers of all devices early")
  c82f63e411f1 ("PCI: check saved state before restore")
  4b77b0a2ba27 ("PCI: Clear saved_state after the state has been restored")

I think we need to step back and separate this AER issue from the
whole SMMU table copying thing.  Then do the research and start a
new thread with a patch to fix just the AER issue.

The ARM guys would probably be grateful to be dropped from the AER
thread because it really has nothing to do with ARM.
