I note that PCI_ERS_RESULT_NO_AER_DRIVER is also missing in that
switch/case statement.  I guess for the patch to be complete,
it needs to be added to the PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT case.
Do you agree?

If you do and respin the patch with that change, feel free to add
my Reviewed-by.

Since you're an IBMer and EEH is maintained by IBM, I'm wondering
if it would be possible to amend EEH to report "rc" instead of
PCI_ERS_RESULT_NONE in eeh_report_error()?  There are multiple
deviations between AER and EEH, this is one of them.  It would
be good to move towards a more consistent recovery process across
platforms.

Thanks,

Lukas
