Apparently in the hotplug case, something *does* restore the state of
affected devices?

Is it possible to fix these two issues separately?

This chain of connections is too long and complicated to be
maintainable: EDR, AER/DPC ownership, NO_AER_DRIVER, etc. It's always
a bad sign when code needs this much explanation.

I don't know how to simplify this, but it does need to be simplified
somehow. I think it might have been my idea to feed all these paths
(AER, DPC, EDR) through the same recovery function, but I'm starting
to think it was a bad idea.

Or maybe it just isn't factored correctly. IIUC for the DPC and EDR
paths, but not for AER, the device (actually the whole subtree) has
been reset before we even get here. So it might help to separate out
the reset part.
