2.2 Load PCI Express AER Root Driver
-There is a case where a system has AER support in BIOS. Enabling the AER
-Root driver and having AER support in BIOS may result unpredictable
-behavior. To avoid this conflict, a successful load of the AER Root driver
-requires ACPI _OSC support in the BIOS to allow the AER Root driver to
-request for native control of AER. See the PCI FW 3.0 Specification for
-details regarding OSC usage. Currently, lots of firmwares don't provide
-_OSC support while they use PCI Express. To support such firmwares,
-forceload, a parameter of type bool, could enable AER to continue to
-be initiated although firmwares have no _OSC support. To enable the
-walkaround, pls. add aerdriver.forceload=y to kernel boot parameter line
-when booting kernel. Note that forceload=n by default.
-
-nosourceid, another parameter of type bool, can be used when broken
-hardware (mostly chipsets) has root ports that cannot obtain the reporting
-source ID. nosourceid=n by default.

+Some systems have AER support in firmware. Enabling Linux AER support at
+the same time the firmware handles AER may result in unpredictable
+behavior. Therefore, Linux does not handle AER events unless the firmware
+grants AER control to the OS via the ACPI _OSC method. See the PCI FW 3.0
+Specification for details regarding _OSC usage.
2.3 AER error output
-When a PCI-E AER error is captured, an error message will be outputted to
-console. If it's a correctable error, it is outputted as a warning.

+When a PCIe AER error is captured, an error message will be output to

Otherwise, it is printed as an error. So users could choose different
log level to filter out correctable error messages.
