This part feels broken because most the errors of concern here are CXL
link generic and that can involve CXL.cache and CXL.mem errors on
devices that are not PCI_CLASS_MEMORY_CXL. This situation feels like it
wants formal acknowledgement in 'struct pci_dev' that CXL links ride on
top of PCIe links.

If it were not for RCRBs then the PCI core could just do:

dvsec = pci_find_dvsec_capability(pdev, PCI_DVSEC_VENDOR_ID_CXL,
CXL_DVSEC_FLEXBUS_PORT);

...at bus scan time to identify devices with active CXL links. RCRBs
unfortunately make it so the link presence can not be detected until a
CXL driver is loaded to read that DVSEC out of MMIO space.

However, I still think that looks like a CXL aware driver registering a
'struct cxl_link' (for lack of a better name) object with a
corresponding PCI device. That link can indicate whether this is an RCH
topology and whether it needs to do the RCEC walk, and that registration
event can flag the RCEC has having CXL link duties to attend to on AER
events.

I suspect 'struct cxl_link' can also be used if/when we get to
incoporating CXL Reset into PCI reset handling.

I assume this also needs to reference the RDPAS if present?

CXL 3.0 9.17.1.5 RCEC Downstream Port Association Structure (RDPAS)

I went looking but missed where does handle_error_source() synchronize
against driver ->remove()?

Naming suggestion...

Given that the VH topology does not require this scanning and
assoication step, lets call this cxl_rch_handle_error() to make it clear
this is only here to undo the awkwardness of CXL 1.1 platforms hiding
registers from typical PCI scanning. A reference to:

CXL 3.0 9.11.8 CXL Devices Attached to an RCH

...might be useful to a future reader that wonders why the CXL RCH case
is so complicated from an AER perspective.
