AER status bits are sticky, and they survive system resets. Downstream
devices are usually taken care of after re-enumerating the downstream
busses, as the AER bits are cleared during probe().
However, nothing clears the bits of the port which contained the
error. These sticky bits may leave some BIOSes to think that something
bad happened, and print ominous messages on next boot. To prevent this,
tidy up the AER status bits before releasing containment.

I think Keith has a patch to fix this. It was under review at some point.

Right, I do intend to following up on this, but I've had some trouble
finding time the last few weeks. Sorry about that, things will clear up
for me shortly.

I'll drop this (Alexandru's) patch for now, waiting for your update, Keith.

I wonder if clearing AER status bits is mutually exclusive with
refactoring other parts of DPC handling?
