Holy crap, I thought this could not possibly get any more complicated,
but you're right; we do actually call aer_error_resume() today via an
extremely convoluted path:

  do_recovery(pci_dev)
    broadcast_error_message(..., error_detected, ...)
    if (AER_FATAL)
      reset_link(pci_dev)
        udev = BRIDGE ? pci_dev : pci_dev->bus->self
        driver->reset_link(udev)
          aer_root_reset(udev)
    if (CAN_RECOVER)
      broadcast_error_message(..., mmio_enabled, ...)
    if (NEED_RESET)
      broadcast_error_message(..., slot_reset, ...)
    broadcast_error_message(dev, ..., report_resume, ...)
      if (BRIDGE)
        report_resume
          driver->resume
            pcie_portdrv_err_resume
              device_for_each_child(..., resume_iter)
                resume_iter
                  driver->error_resume
                    aer_error_resume
        pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status(pci_dev)       # only if BRIDGE
          pci_write_config_dword(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS)

aerdriver is the only port service driver that implements
.error_resume(), and aerdriver only binds to root ports.  I can't
really believe all these device_for_each_child()/resume_iter()
gyrations are necessary when this is AER code calling AER code.
