[PATCH 09/10] IOCHK interface for I/O error handling/detecting

[Hidetoshi Seto]

[This is 9 of 10 patches, "iochk-09-cpeh.patch"]

- SAL behavior doesn't affect only MCA. There are other
  chances to call SAL_GET_STATE_INFO, that's when CMC, CPE,
  and INIT is happen.

   - CMC(Corrected Machine Check) is for non-fatal, processor
     local errors. Fortunately, calling SAL_GET_STATE_INFO for
     CMC only collect data from a processor issued it, without
     touching any bridge and its status. So, this is safe.

   - CPE(Corrected Platform Error) is for non-fatal, platform
     related errors. Even it says corrected, but calling
     SAL procedure for CPE touchs every bridge on the platform,
     and "correct" bridge status that's bad for iochk works.

   - INIT is a kind of system reset request, as far as I know.
     So restarting from INIT is out of design, also iochk after
     INIT is not required at this time.

  In short, only MCA and CPE have the problem of SAL behavior.
  One of the difference from MCA is that SAL will not gather
  data before OS actually request it.

  MCA:
      1) SAL gathers data and keep it internally
      2) OS gets control
      3) if OS requests, SAL returns data gathered at beginning.
  CPE:
      1) OS gets control
      2) OS request to SAL
      3) SAL gathers data and return it to OS

  Therefore, we can make CPE handler to care bridge states,
  to check states before calling SAL procedure.
