BTW southbridges do less and less regarding PCI.

You don't really need special drivers for AER -- it's fully standardized
and works generically. I think the old PCI-X error bits Don was interested
in were also all architectural.
The driver for the first is already there, just right now the
information is not dumped in the right places.
There are a few platform specific error signals, but they tend
to be rather obscure stuff. The "meat" is all in the standard.
