ACPI 6.2 Ch 6.2.11.3, Table 6-197
	PCI Express Advanced Error Reporting control

	The firmware sets this bit to 1 to grant control over PCI
	Express Advanced Error Reporting.
	If firmware allows the OS control of this feature, then in the
	context of the _OSC method it must ensure that error messages
	are routed to device interrupts as described in the PCI
	Express Base Specification. Additionally, after control is
	transferred to the OS, firmware must not modify the Advanced
	Error Reporting Capability. If control of this feature was
	requested and denied or was not requested, firmware returns
	this bit set to 0.
