Subject: [ 035/120] netxen: check for root bus in netxen_mask_aer_correctable

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit e4d1aa40e363ed3e0486aeeeb0d173f7f822737e ]

Add a check if pdev->bus->self == NULL (root bus). When attaching
a netxen NIC to a VM it can be on the root bus and the guest would
crash in netxen_mask_aer_correctable() because of a NULL pointer
dereference if CONFIG_PCIEAER is present.
