PCI-Express AER implemetation: AER core and aerdriver

Patch 3 implements the core part of PCI-Express AER and aerdrv
port service driver.

When a root port service device is probed, the aerdrv will call
request_irq to register irq handler for AER error interrupt.

When a device sends an PCI-Express error message to the root port,
the root port will trigger an interrupt, by either MSI or IO-APIC,
then kernel would run the irq handler. The handler collects root
error status register and schedules a work. The work will call
the core part to process the error based on its type
(Correctable/non-fatal/fatal).

As for Correctable errors, the patch chooses to just clear the correctable
error status register of the device.

As for the non-fatal error, the patch follows generic PCI error handler
rules to call the error callback functions of the endpoint's driver. If
the device is a bridge, the patch chooses to broadcast the error to
downstream devices.

As for the fatal error, the patch resets the pci-express link and
follows generic PCI error handler rules to call the error callback
functions of the endpoint's driver. If the device is a bridge, the patch
chooses to broadcast the error to downstream devices.
