_HPX is for platform-dependent things.  If Linux has generic AER
support, i.e., if CONFIG_PCIEAER=y, we should not rely on _HPX to
enable AER for hot-added devices.

We need some mechanism in Linux for enabling AER on them.  I don't
*like* the pci_walk_bus(), but we might need it for now because we
have this ordering:

  1) Enumerate hierarchy, disabling AER on all devices.  Currently I
  think we only disable AER for Ports, but I propose doing it for all
  devices.

  2) Install AER driver on Root Ports.  Enable AER on Root Port.  We
  also need to enable AER on the hierarchy below the Root Port, and
  pci_walk_bus() seems like the logical way to do it for now.

  3) Hot-add a device.  Currently I think AER will remain disabled on
  the new device *unless* _HPX enables it.  I think this is wrong --
  Linux should not rely on the platform for this.  We could enable AER
  via a device-add notifier, but that seems overly complicated.

  I'd rather add a bit in pci_dev like "aer_hierarchy" that is set
  whenever we turn on AER for the device.  Then pci_aer_init() could
  enable AER if it is enabled in the upstream device.

Since the AER driver is installed after the whole hierarchy is
enumerated, we can't use the "aer_hierarchy" bit (or whatever we call
it) to enable AER on the devices present at boot.

I would ultimately like to enable AER on the Root Ports in
pci_aer_init() during enumeration instead of installing it as a driver
after enumeration.  If we could ever do that, then the aer_hierarchy
bit would work the same way for boot-time and hot-added devices, and
we wouldn't need to do the pci_walk_bus() thing.
