Reserved (RSVD)
Reserved for Data Link Layer State Changed (DLLSC)
This bit is set when the value reported in the Data Link Layer Link
Active field of the Link Status register is changed. In response to
a Data Link Layer State Changed event, software must read the
Data Link Layer Link Active field of the Link Status register to
determine if the link is active before initiating configuration cycles
to the hot plugged device.

Reserved for Electromechanical Interlock Status (EIS)
If an Electromechanical Interlock is implemented, this bit
indicates the current status of the Electromechanical Interlock.

Presence Detect State (PDS)
In band presence detect state:
0 = Slot Empty
1 = Card present in slot
This bit indicates the presence of an adapter in the slot, reflected
by the logical "OR" of the Physical Layer in-band presence detect
mechanism and, if present, any out-of-band presence detect
mechanism defined for the slot's corresponding form factor. The
in-band presence detect mechanism requires that power be
applied to an adapter for its presence to be detected.
Consequently, form factors that require a power controller for
hot-plug must implement a physical pin presence detect
mechanism.
0 = Slot Empty
1 = Card Present in slot
This register must be implemented on all Downstream Ports that
implement slots. For Downstream Ports not connected to slots
(where the Slot Implemented bit of the PCI Express Capabilities
Register is 0b), this bit must return 1b.

Reserved for MRL Sensor State (MSS)
This register reports the status of the MRL sensor if it is
implemented.
