This is beautiful! Tiny patches that are easy to review and verify,
and I think it's definitely going the right direction.
Nits that apply to all:
- These are really fixing driver bugs (even though the PCI core is
making it harder than necessary for the drivers), so make the
driver subject lines match the individual driver history, e.g.,
dmaengine: ioatdma: Convert PCIBIOS_* errors to generic -E* errors
IB/hfi1: Convert PCIBIOS_* errors to generic -E* errors
Find the driver or subsystem prefix by running "git log --oneline"
on each file you're touching.
- In commit logs, use "PCIe", not "pcie". Also "non-PCI generic"
might be a little redundant; I think "generic" is enough.
- Order "Suggested-by" before "Signed-off-by".
When you repost this, be sure to include a "v2" in the subject.
