[+cc Tyler for AER dmesg decoding]

- Tyler posted a patch [1] to update those dmesg strings so they match
the way lspci decodes them. I really liked that update, but we
never quite finished it. If we're going to do that, it would be
nice to do it first, so we don't publish new sysfs files, then
immediately change the labels used in them.
Sure, I guess you can push them in the right order.
The way the prints are handled has already been unified in 4.18rc1:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.18-rc1/source/drivers/pci/pcie/aer.c#L636

So that patch isn't needed anymore in it's entirety.
- IIRC, Tyler's patch had the nice property of changing the strings so
each error name had no spaces, which would make it a little easier
to parse this sysfs file: each line would be a single identifier
followed by a single number (I would probably remove the "=" from
the middle).

Will do.
Would you like me to send a patch with just the string changes?

Thanks,
Tyler
