I just replied to the original patch; sorry, I forgot to add you to
the cc list.  Bharat, when people respond to your v<N> patch, can you
please add them (and anybody else *they* added) to the cc list when
you post your v<N+1> patch?

If we set PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_SERR in the pci_configure_device() path,
would that address your comments?

There's still a separate question of where and how we should configure
the error bits in PCI_EXP_DEVCTL (currently done in
pci_enable_pcie_error_reporting()).
