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