• Section 11.13.5, “I/O CAM Base and Limit Upper 16 Bits Registers”
• Section 11.13.6, “Base Address Registers (BARs)”
• Section 11.13.7, “Shadow Virtual Channel (VC) Capability Registers”
• Section 11.13.8, “Ingress Credit Handler (INCH) Registers”
• Section 11.13.9, “Ingress One-Bit ECC Error Count Register”
• Section 11.13.10, “Relaxed Completion Ordering (Ingress) Register – Silicon Revisions BA/BB/
