I suspect this is because we set the host bus adapters to hard fail
(HPMC) on detecting an error, since we don't want to
1) return possibly bogus (-1) data
2) write code to use the (undocumented) error detection
More to the point, I suspect it's extra paranoia because firmware has
set it up this way. I put in a quick hack to test whether those bits
were set, and they came enabled that way by firmware on all the boxes I
tested. (Disclaimer, I didn't have any easily accessible boxes with
add-on cards installed, so firmware might just set it up for core
devices, and we're making sure its set everywhere.)
cheers, Kyle
