If so, it should be a BIOS bug, right? (BIOS should not contain PCI device
for AER structure).
And I agree that your patch tries to avoid this scenario, but even one PCI
device is set FFM enabled, as you mentioned above, AER is only for PCIe,
which means a PCI device will not trigger such an event, so it should be
harmless, in principle. But in practice, I totally agree with you that
should be fixed.
