Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] PCI/AER: Determine AER ownership based on _OSC instead of HEST

HEST is used to describe the meaning of errors received as part of ACPI
Platform Error Interfaces (APEI), however the correct way to determine
AER ownership is the _OSC method.

The ACPI spec allows _OSC and HEST to say things that might not make
sense on a specific hardware implementation.
For example _OSC can say "OS has control" on the root bus, while HEST
says "This PCIe device is firmware-first". This is fine when the
platform can differentiate error sources at the root complex. On x86
platforms, AER errors can be routed to either to an MSI vector
(native AER), or to SMM (firmware-first). As this is done at the root
complex level, the example above would not make sense.

Notice that in neither case is it correct to go to HEST to determine
AER ownership. This is the conclusion of a six-months discussion in
the ACPI Software Working Group.

pci_dev->__aer_firmware_first is used to prevent modification of AER
registers when firmware owns AER. This is synonymous with the AER
ownership negotiated during _OSC. Thus _OSC is the correct way to
use to set this flag, not HEST.
