Thanks for these test outputs!

It strikes that by this point the code knows that it is a "CXL Bus"
error and no longer a "PCIe Bus" error. Given the divergent  responses
to Fatal errors based on bus I think it would help to clarify that the
kernel is panicking due to "CXL Bus", not "PCIe Bus" errors.

...i.e. someone may not notice that this is "cxl" reference in the
backtrace.
