Huang Ying c465def6bf PCI AER: software error injection
Debugging PCIE AER code can be very difficult because it is hard
to trigger various real hardware errors. This patch provide a
software based error injection tool, which can fake various PCIE
errors with a user space helper tool named "aer-inject". Which
can be gotten from:

The patch fakes AER error by faking some PCIE AER related
registers and an AER interrupt for specified the PCIE device.

This enables PCI Express Root Port Advanced Error Reporting

Debuging PCIE AER code is quite difficult because it is hard
to trigger various real hardware errors. Software based
error injection can fake almost all kinds of errors with the
help of a user space helper tool aer-inject, which can be
