Problem summary

• On a future system, the firmware can display an error of
  BA188000 when an 8 or 128 port async PCI adapter is in the
  machine with the driver loaded but the microcode in
  /usr/lib/microcode has not been installed or deleted.
  

Problem conclusion

• The error path after the microcode has been discovered to not
  exist touchs the adapter to turn it off before EEH has been
  set up.  The touch of the adapter before EEH is set up is the
  real error the firmware is report.  The solution is to make
  sure EEH is set up before touching the adapter.
