Russ Anderson 2022c1f136 [IA64] Update Altix nofault code
Montecito and Montvale behaves slightly differently than previous
Itanium processors, resulting in the MCA due to a failed PIO read
to sometimes surfacing outside the nofault code.  This code is
based on discussions with Intel CPU architects and verified at
customer sites.

/*
* 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.
