Thanks for working on this. But how do we know which PHB this error is
reported on ? Can we have PHB details as prefix in the error message ?

Also, can we have Error message format something like below ?

0000:50:00.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Uncorrected (Fatal), type=Transaction Layer, id=0500(Requester ID)

Thanks,
-Mahesh.
