Huang Ying c465def6bf PCI AER: software error injection
Debugging PCIE AER code can be very difficult because it is hard
to trigger various real hardware errors. This patch provide a
software based error injection tool, which can fake various PCIE
errors with a user space helper tool named "aer-inject". Which
can be gotten from:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/yhuang/

The patch fakes AER error by faking some PCIE AER related
registers and an AER interrupt for specified the PCIE device.

Zhang, Yanmin 28eb27cf08 PCI AER: support invalid error source IDs
When the bus id part of error source id is equal to 0 or nosourceid=1,
make the kernel probe the AER status registers of all devices under the
root port to find the initial error reporter.

Yu Zhao 270c66be9b PCI: fix AER capability check
The 'use pci_find_ext_capability everywhere' cleanup brought a new bug,
which makes the AER stop working.  Fix it by actually using find_ext_cap
instead of just find_cap.  Drop the unused config space size define while
we're at it.
