The CPER error record has a reset bit that indicates that the platform
has reset the bus. The reset bit can be set for any severity error
including recoverable.  From the AER code path's perspective,
any error is fatal if the bus has been reset. This patch upgrades the
severity of the AER recovery to AER_FATAL whenever the CPER error record
indicates that the bus has been reset.

Nit Pick, change "Decriptor" to "Descriptor".
