Hello Bjorn,

Are there existing abbreviations for these AER status strings that I cannot 
find? Or do you want
me to abbreviate them similar to the style used with prints in lspci -vv?

Once they are abbreviated, you'd prefer to have all errors that have occurred to 
be printed on
the same line, correct?

Thanks,
Tyler
