Tyler Baicar b9f80fdc42 PCI/AER: Skip recovery callbacks for correctable errors from ACPI APEI
PCIe correctable errors are corrected by hardware.  Software may log them,
but no other software intervention is required.

There are two paths to enter the AER recovery code: (1) the native path
where Linux fields the AER interrupt and reads the AER registers directly,
and (2) the ACPI path where firmware reads the AER registers and hands them
off to Linux via the ACPI APEI path.

The AER do_recovery() function calls driver error reporting callbacks
(error_detected(), mmio_enabled(), resume(), etc), attempts recovery (for
fatal errors), and logs a "AER: Device recovery successful" message.

Since there's nothing to recover for correctable errors, the native path
already skips do_recovery(), so it doesn't call the driver callbacks and or
emit the message.  Make the APEI path do the same.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
