    PCIE port bus driver depends on PCI_GOMMCONFIG to locate service
    attributes
    for advanced error reporting (AER) and virtual channel (VC) for each
    PCIE port.
    Without PCI_GOMMCONFIG, then a read to 0x100 offset or above will return
    0xffff;
    in other words, neither AER nor VC service support is found. We would
    like to move
    forward to have PCI_GOMMCONFIG dependency as the new features come
    along. RHEL 4
    is shipping with PCI_GOMMCONFIG configured into the kernel by default
    and we
    expect the next major version of SuSE linux to do the same.

    Thanks,
    Long
