I guess the point is to extract register values from HEST PCI Express
AER structures (ACPI r6.5, sec 18.3.2.4, etc.) and program them into
AER Capabilities?

If/when you repost this, it would be nice if the patches ([1/5],
[2/5], etc) were responses to the cover letter ([0/5]).  Since they're
not responses, b4 doesn't know they're connected and can't grab the
whole series at once.

Also capitalize the subject lines consistently and s/PCIE/PCIe/ and
s/pcie/PCIe/ and s/aer/AER/, e.g.,

  ACPI/APEI: Add apei_hest_parse_aer()
  ACPI/APEI: Remove static from apei_hest_parse()
  PCI: Add AER #defines for PCIe/PCI-X bridges
  ACPI/PCI: Add pci_acpi_program_hest_aer_params()
  ACPI/PCI: Configure devices AER registers based on HEST
