Description
SERR# Message Enable (SERRE)
This bit controls the root port’s SERR# messaging. The processor
communicates the SERR# condition by sending an SERR
message to the PCH. This bit, when set, enables reporting of
non-fatal and fatal errors detected by the device to the Root
Complex. Note that errors are reported if enabled either through
this bit or through the PCI Express* specific bits in the Device
Control Register.
In addition, for Type 1 configuration space header devices, this
bit, when set, enables transmission by the primary interface of
ERR_NONFATAL and ERR_FATAL error messages forwarded from
the secondary interface. This bit does not affect the transmission
of forwarded ERR_COR messages.

0 = The SERR message is generated by the root port only under
conditions enabled individually through the Device Control
Register.
1 = The root port is enabled to generate SERR messages which
will be sent to the PCH for specific root port error conditions
generated/detected or received on the secondary side of the
virtual PCI to PCI bridge. The status of SERRs generated is
reported in the PCISTS register.
