Hi ! Is there any work in progress to get some unified error reporting (and possibly recovery) API for PCI/X/e ? On pSeries, we have this "EEH" mecanism that allows us, even with old-style PCI, to get error notification, but also to recover by doing slot reset and that sort of stuff. PCI

[PATCH] Fix SAA7134 transport stream errors
