It will be an endpoint, but I though cxl_handle_error_iter() is only
called for RCIEPs and RPs that are share a bus range with the RCEC. The
endpoint in the VH case is downstream of the RP.

I had been assuming that pci_walk_bus() limits itself to buses within
the Root Complex however it descends the entire bus hierarchy so this
implementation will walk the entire topology on all root ports
associated with the RCEC looking for any CXL device. That feels wrong.

I would expect that this limits it self to only finding root ports and
then only proceeding if that root port has a directly attached CXL
device.

Note, when you send a v2 of this RFC be sure to copy linux-pci for these
core changes to PCI error handling.
