Good idea.

Correct. Any PCI bus protocol errors reported while CXL trained will be reported as 
CXL errors.

In your example a "PCIe error" will be detected as a CXL.io error and the AER driver
will log the extended AER register status. The device's CXL RAS will also be logged 
if it is a CXL bus error.

We can't access CXL RAS if its not a CXL error and not a device.
