Thanks for pointing to spec details. 

In testing here, we used root port as agent to consume root port CXL protocol errors.
The logic to handle the root port errors requires little to no AER driver changes.
This results in a root port consuming VH protocol errors and RCEC consuming RCD 
protocol errors. The RCEC and root port both use the PCIe port bus driver's AER service
driver in separate instances for RCEC-RCD and root-port-VH.

The driver support is much simpler if RCEC does not handle VH protocol errors. Is there 
a reason to forward root port VH mode protocol errors to an RCEC rather than consume 
in the root port's AER driver and forward to CXL error handler?

Terry
