Many PCI bus controllers are able to detect a variety of hardware
PCI errors on the bus, such as parity errors on the data and address
-busses, as well as SERR and PERR errors. Some of the more advanced
+buses, as well as SERR and PERR errors. Some of the more advanced
chipsets are able to deal with these errors; these include PCI-E chipsets,
and the PCI-host bridges found on IBM Power4, Power5 and Power6-based
pSeries boxes. A typical action taken is to disconnect the affected device,
>>> a value of 0xff on read, and writes will be dropped. If more than

The actual steps taken by a platform to perform a slot reset
will be platform-dependent. Upon completion of slot reset, the
platform will call the device slot_reset() callback.
For most PCI devices, a soft reset will be sufficient for recovery.
