/*
 * 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.
