The current AIC7xxx driver states+
if ((status1 & SSE) && (aic7xxx_verbose & VERBOSE_MINOR_ERROR))
...
Interpreting this, I assume that a PCI System error is treated as a minor
error that is normally ignored. From my memory of PCI architecture, a
system error is everything else but a "minor error". Similar seems to
apply for a "master abort".
Even for parity errors I assume that they should be sent to the syslog all
the time, and not just if "verbose" is set.
