During OSC negotiation, OS will advertise its support for EDR, if it
is available. If DPC is owned by firmware, then it can leverage the
EDR support, to let OS handle the error recovery.

EDR is the hybird mode. In this case, the firmware owns the DPC and will detect
the DPC event. But for error recovery, it will let OS handle it to EDR
notification.

You can find more details in the latest PCIe firmware specification and APCI
specification.

If native DPC is enabled then OS will handle the DPC detection and
error recover.

In firmwre DPC mode, firmware will do the DPC detection and it can
optionally use OS for error recovery using EDR>

Installing handler will just register callback with ACPI device. AFAIK,
preventing it in OS native DPC case is not going to fix anything or
optimize the path.
