Sorry I spent so much time on this, but I finally applied it to
pci/aer for v6.4.

I added the "Fixes: 068c29a248b6" line.  It's not that 068c29a248b6 is
a bug, just that EDR relied on behavior that 068c29a248b6 legitimately
removed, so this patch should go where 068c29a248b6 goes.

I wordsmithed the commit log to add hints about things I stumbled
over.  I'll post a follow-up patch to add a couple comments there,
too.

Thanks for your patience in educating me through all this.
