I see.  Do you want me to just do that or should I expect a patch from
you ?  (I have a recent pciutils-dev here which I could cut-and-paste
from.)

The loop serves no purpose.  You can just directly do the saving for
each value in turn.  There are many possible more normal ways to do
this.  For example,

  static void aer_save_one_register(int i, loads of other parameters) {
       *(uint32_t*)(d->config + (aer_base + i))
            = pci_read_long(ptdev->pci_dev, (aer_base + i));
  }

  static void pt_aer_reg_save(struct pt_dev *ptdev) {
    start of function unchanged
    aer_save_one_register(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_MASK, other parameters);
    aer_save_one_register(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_SEVER, other parameters);
    aer_save_one_register(PCI_ERR_COR_MASK, other parameters);
    aer_save_one_register(PCI_ERR_CAP, other parameters);
  }

Or

  #define AER_SAVE_ONE_REGISTER(i) \
       (*(uint32_t*)(d->config + (aer_base + (i))) \
            = pci_read_long(ptdev->pci_dev, (aer_base + (i))))

  static void pt_aer_reg_save(struct pt_dev *ptdev) {
    start of function unchanged
    AER_SAVE_ONE_REGISTER(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_MASK);
    ...


And if you want to make the list of registers common between the save
and restore code you could do

  #define AER_SAVE_REGS_LIST(each) \
    each(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_MASK) \
    each(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_SEVER) \
    each(PCI_ERR_COR_MASK) \
    each(PCI_ERR_CAP)

  #define AER_SAVE_ONE_REGISTER(i) \
       (*(uint32_t*)(d->config + (aer_base + (i))) \
            = pci_read_long(ptdev->pci_dev, (aer_base + (i))));

  static void pt_aer_reg_save(struct pt_dev *ptdev) {
    start of function unchanged
    AER_SAVE_REGS_LIST(AER_SAVE_ONE_REGISTER)
  }

or

  static const int aer_regs_to_save[]= {
    PCI_ERR_UNCOR_MASK,
    PCI_ERR_UNCOR_SEVER,
    PCI_ERR_COR_MASK,
    PCI_ERR_CAP,
    -1
  }

  static void pt_aer_reg_save(struct pt_dev *ptdev) {
    start of function unchanged
    int *reg;
    for (reg = aer_regs_to_save; *reg >= 0; reg++) {
       i = *reg;
       *(uint32_t*)(d->config + (aer_base + i))
            = pci_read_long(ptdev->pci_dev, (aer_base + i));
    }
  }

But those may be overkill to avoid duplicating a four-element list.
