Trivial comment for both of these hunks: if we test for
pcie_ports_native *first*, we won't have to run apei_hest_parse().
It's fairly obvious that we ignore the result of apei_hest_parse()
anyway, but I think it's a courtesy to the reader if we don't run it
at all, so we don't have to worry about side effects.
