pcie_clear_device_status() resets the error bits in the PCIe Device Status
Register (PCI_EXP_DEVSTA).

Previously we did this unconditionally, but on ACPI systems, the _OSC AER
bit negotiates control of the AER capability.  Per sec 4.5.1 of the System
Firmware Intermediary _OSC and DPC Updates ECN [1], this bit also covers
other error enable/status bits including the following:

  Correctable Error Reporting Enable
  Non-Fatal Error Reporting Enable
  Fatal Error Reporting Enable
  Unsupported Request Reporting Enable

These bits are all in the PCIe Device Control register (the ECN omitted
"Reporting", but I think that's a typo), so by implication the _OSC AER bit
also applies to the error status bits in the PCIe Device Status register:

  Correctable Error Detected
  Non-Fatal Error Detected
  Fatal Error Detected
  Unsupported Request Detected

Clear the PCIe Device Status error bits only when the OS controls the AER
capability and related err...
