Thanks for respinning, Mani.

Bjorn, it would be great to have these in 6.12 since we're currently
seeing lots of NVMe link errors on x1e80100 platforms (e.g. the Lenovo
ThinkPad T14s) without them.

These errors are also blocking the enabling of using the GIC ITS for
interrupts since that will cause all these AER reports to spam the
logs. So if you pick this one up, please consider also picking up:

[ Note that the later added PCIe5 RC does not currently support ITS. ]

Also note that users of these machines have been running with ITS
support enabled for months now when using my x1e80100 wip branches, such
as:

	https://github.com/jhovold/linux/tree/wip/x1e80100-6.11-rc7

So this is all quite well-tested by now.
