11 * The xp_nofault_PIOR function takes a pointer to a remote PIO register
12 * and attempts to load and consume a value from it. This function
13 * will be registered as a nofault code block. In the event that the
14 * PIO read fails, the MCA handler will force the error to look
15 * corrected and vector to the xp_error_PIOR which will return an error.
16 *
17 * The definition of "consumption" and the time it takes for an MCA
18 * to surface is processor implementation specific. This code
19 * is sufficient on Itanium through the Montvale processor family.
20 * It may need to be adjusted for future processor implementations.
