Turns out "pcie_aspm=off" effectively disables AER because Linux doesn't request AER control when it doesn't advertise ASPM support (see ACPI_PCIE_REQ_SUPPORT). That explains why "pcie_aspm=off" would avoid the error reporting.

This report was from a v3.11-based kernel. v3.11 is from Mon Sep 2 13:46:10 2013, so it should contain https://git.kernel.org/linus/dce87b960cf4 ("netxen: mask correctable error"), which should mask all Correctable Errors for this device (see https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/netxen/netxen_nic_main.c?id=v3.11#n1420), so I don't know why this flood happened.
