Eric might have more details to add when he collected numerous logs to get
to the timeline of the problem. The test was to stress the links with an
automated power off, this will result in some eDPC UC error followed by
link down. The recovery worked fine for several cycles and suddenly there
were no more interrupts. A manual rescan on pci would probe and device is
operational again.

The test patch revealed we entered the aer_irq() with just the multi-error
PCI_ERR_ROOT_MULTI_COR_RCV or PCI_ERR_ROOT_MULTI_UNCOR_RCV, then we didn't
clear those bits causing interrupt generation to cease after that.
