Under a specific set of unlikely circumstances it is possible for revision 4 PCA
hardware to falsely report PCI hung bus errors, which will cause a uncorrectable
hardware machine check and operating system panic. The following console error
messages indicate this problem has occurred. The "PCI bus hung during Fault"
text in the error message is the key to detecting this error. Note: the false
PCI bus hung error only occurs with revision 4 PCA hardware.

When an Alphaserver GS80, GS160, or GS320 system reaches a critical 
temperature, it will shut itself down as a precaution.  This temperature 
is safe for the power supply's but the system will issue an enviromental 
warning and shut itself down. The fix to this problem is to no longer take 
into account the power supply's tempature when determining the system's 
tempature.

On wildfires with PCI adapters of mixed revision, the PCA registers are set up 
incorrectly.  This leads to kernel memory faults of variable characteristics.
While this is not a configuration which is sold, it may exist in the field, and
will certainly exist in-house.

PCA and their revisions may be identified by their model numbers:
	PCA4 (B4171-AC)	
	PCA3 (B4171-AA E02 or B4171-AB - doesn't matter)

PROBLEM: (91926) (PATCH ID: OSF445-475)

This patch fixes a bit masking error in the kernel code such that 
correctable error reporting will get turned back on for any CPU, not just
CPU 0, when the time period to throttle the correctable errors has expired.
Throttling is a mechanism in the kernel to turn off the reporting of correctable
errors for a period of time, if a lot of correctable errors are getting reported
within a short time frame.  This prevents the error logs from getting filled up 
with too many correctable error messages. 

The problem is that once correctable errors are throttled for any CPU, except
CPU 0, the reporting of the correctable errors will stay turned off 
indefinitely, rather than getting turned back on after the throttling time
period has expired.
