Use the terminology from the spec again ("platform-specific System
Errors").

I tend to agree.  I expect that a host bridge will only use this new
mechanism if the standard INTx/MSI interrupts don't work.  

I guess it's possible a device could use platform-specific errors for
some services and standard INTx/MSI for others, but unless we have an
example of that, I'm not sure it's worth trying to support that.

For now, I think it will be simpler to skip pcie_init_service_irqs()
completely if the platform-specific hook is successful.
