This does not apply.  Please respin against latest linux-2.6 or pci-2.6.

You can inject multiple correctable errors with the aer-inject user-land
tool, so perhaps this should be re-worded as:

"The correctable error(s) are masked by the device\n"

Same as above

You can also simultaneously inject correctable and uncorrectable errors,
so I don't particularly like returning errors here.  Perhaps you should
just print the warning message out and just not inject the masked
errors.
