Amend the documentation on PCI error recovery with specifics about
Downstream Port Containment and Advanced Error Reporting:

* Explain that with DPC, devices are inaccessible upon an error (similar
  to EEH on powerpc) and do not become accessible until the link is
  re-enabled.

* Explain that with AER, although devices may already be accessible in the
  ->error_detected() callback, accesses should be deferred to the
  ->mmio_enabled() callback for compatibility with EEH on powerpc and with
  s390.
