Ok, I think I have it. That comes from cper_print_pcie(), i.e. your
enhanced PCIe logging in 1d5210008bd3a26daf4b06aed9d6c330dd4c83e2 which
came in 3.9. And since 3.9 is just out now, people are starting to see
the issue.

If you look at the call stack, you land in cper_print_pcie() down
from ghes_proc() which can be called from the polling routine
ghes_poll_func() but also from the interrupt handler ghes_irq_func.

Hmm, not sure.

Off the top of my head, maybe add the whole code around:

#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_PCIEAER
...

#endif

in cper_print_pcie() into a separate function which is called from a
workqueue right after the interrupt is done.. Or something to that
effect.

Well, it could be corrupted error info or such because it used to say

[   65.782664] {1}[Hardware Error]: device_id: 0000:00:02.3

but he doesn't have a 02.3 device in the lspci output.
