the fix must be isolated to this patch (for automated backports) and
you need to remove the dependency to the first patch then. So swap
them and ... see below.

For the fix, you could replace that with:

	if (!host_bridge->native_aer) ...

... and replace it with this function here in the patch where
pcie_aer_is_native() is exported (or in a 3rd patch).
