Do you want me to drop this patch or slim the tracepoint down even
further?

Looking at this again I feel like 

	54ce1927eb78 ("cxl/cper: Fix errant CPER prints for CXL events") 

Was a mistake.  PCI AER errors are both printed in
cper_estatus_print_section() and again printed/traced in pci_print_aer()

Why should CXL be any different?
