I'm still unsure about that one. EEH_PE_ISOLATED could be the result
of a normal ER of PE#0 (which can happen for various reasons other
than a fence) in which case the config space is available and
interesting.

I would either not bother and collect the FF's, or make this specific
to fence and only fence.
