Erratum
Bit range 11:9 (Endpoint L1 Acceptable Latency) in the Device
Capabilities register (offset 4h) in the PCI Express Capability
table must be read-only and always return 0 for devices other
than endpoints. These register bits are requested to always
return 0 in PCI Express revision 1.1, but are not requested to be
always return 0 in PCI express revision 1.0a.

Erratum
Currently, the PCIHCT is testing the ASPM Support of a PCI
Express device unconditionally, based on PCI Express
specification. There is a published Microsoft white-paper
(http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/bus/PCI/aspm.mspx )
explaining that support is based on Role Based Error Reporting
capability (by default).

Erratum
If the Data Link Layer Link Active Reporting Capable field of the
Link Capabilities register is set to 1, then the Data Link Layer
Link Active field of the Link Status Register must be
implemented as per the PCIe Base Specification. However, there
is no requirement either in the OS code or in the PCIe Base
specification that requires the reverse to be true, Thus, if the
Data Link Layer Link Active field of the Link Status Register is
implemented then it is NOT required for the Data Link Layer
Link Active Reporting Capable field of the Link Capabilities
register to be set to 1.

Erratum
Fidelity Test includes a "System Activity Test" that verifies
audio fidelity is not compromised during system activity. It uses
an activity generator called rws.exe (Real World Stress) which
has a bug that causes it to hit an access violation. When this
happens it exits with return code 0xC00000005, or -
1073741819.
