There is an exception to this in the TurboLaser has to correct errors caused
by DMA from the I/O boards since the PAL code hasn't got a clue as to what
happened when something bad happens with this (and, no, neither NetBSD nor
FreeBSD has this code in place).

As a second note, the error cleanup && logging code is, in fact, very closely
held Digital (now Compaq) Intellectual Property. More so than just about any
other portion of the kernel.
