Add a new "aer_panic" parameter to force kernel panic on unrecoverable
PCIe Advanced Error Reporting (AER) errors. This is designed for systems
where unresolved PCIe bus hangs require immediate reboot to maintain
service availability.
The option can be enabled via "pci=aer_panic" on the kernel command line.
It prepares for safer error handling in mission-critical environments
by bypassing indefinite hangs and triggering controlled panic.
