Thanks for the links. Toggling PERST does seem to reliably cause
correctable errors (however "correctable" they may actually be in
practice). With the patch I posted on the other branch of this chain I
now get

[   43.041610] pcieport 0000:00:00.0: AER: Multiple Corrected error message received from 0000:00:00.0
[   43.050693] pcieport 0000:00:00.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, (Receiver ID)
[   43.061477] pcieport 0000:00:00.0:   device [10ee:d011] error status/mask=00000001/0000e000
[   43.069842] pcieport 0000:00:00.0:    [ 0] RxErr                 

Whether or not that's the right fix, at least I can test things :)
