This makes sense.

from Lukas's text

"
The user may turn the slot on/off via sysfs. If an Attention Button
is present, the user may also press that button to turn the slot on/off
after 5 seconds. Either way, it may cause pciehp's IRQ thread to run
concurrently to a reset initiated by the AER driver, independently of
any events signalled by the slot.
"

so if device gets removed and re-enumerated other than hotplug ISR,
or any other similar path has to take care of checking ERR_FATAL status.

Oza.
