Update to Software Developer's Manual

Update to Software Developer's Manual

[Luck, Tony]

There is a specification update to the Itanium Architecture
Software Developer's Manual available at:

http://developer.intel.com/design/itanium/downloads/248699.htm

One new goody is a new PAL call for error injection (which should
help a lot with testing the MCA paths ... bad news is that you'll
have to wait for Montecito to see a PAL that implements it).

-Tony

P.S. Sunglasses may be required for pages 15-17 ... the authors
of those pages seem to have gone a little wild with their use
of colour :-)

Just for interest. Did anyone already boot Linux on Montecito hardware? 
Are additional patches necessary to do so?

Hi,

Could you IPF platform makers share when the new PAL entry
PAL_MC_ERROR_INJECT is going to be available in your platforms?

Thanks,
