RE: [PATCH 0/2] PCI/AER: Remove module parameters

[Tang, CQ]

Bjorn,
     Can we extend this aerdriver to support AER from a root complex integrated endpoint? Root complex event collector has the same job as root port in this case.

     It looks that both port driver and aer driver check PCI_EXP_TYPE_ROOT_PORT/PCI_EXP_TYPE_UPSTREAM/PCI_EXP_TYPE_DOWNSTREAM only.
portdrv_pci.c:127, aerdrv.c:86

      Is it just a simple addition of PCI_EXP_TYPE_RC_EC to above two places?  Is there any difference to recover a root complex integrated endpoint? (compared with devices connected to root port).

Thanks.
