There should be information in the AER register. The base spec section
6.2.5 ("Sequence of Device Eror Signaling and Logging") says the
corresponding bit in the AER Uncorrectable Error Status register should
be set before triggerring DPC. The sequence ends with the DPC trigger,
so the Linux AER service was never notified to handle the event.

As an enhancement to the DPC driver, we may be able to enqueue an AER
event to see if that may provide additional details about the error. I can
implement that enhanmcement, and should have something for consideration
sometime in the next week.

On a side note, now that root ports are implementing DPC, we should
probably consult the platform for AER firmware first. The PCIe
specification strongly recommends linking DPC control to that of AER, so
I'll try to add that check as well.
