I regularly see faults like this on an APM X-Gene:

The log shows kernel gets an exception when trying to access Mellanox
card configuration space. This is usually due to suboptimal PCIe
SerDes parameters are using in your board, which will cause bad link
quality.
The PCIe SerDes programming is done in U-Boot, so I suggest you do a
U-Boot upgrade to our latest X-Gene U-Boot release.

I installed U-Boot 1.15.12, which I thought was the latest.  I'm still
seeing this issue regularly, approx once/hour.

Our latest U-Boot is 1.15.15, but U-Boot 1.15.12 is already a good
version to use. Are you running any PCIe traffic test when the error
happens?

Nope, the machine was either idle or running a reboot test; no PCIe stress
test or anything.

And it will be useful if you can share your "lspci -vvv" output when
the board is running, we can check to see if there is any error status
reported.

Here's some lspci output and info about the firmware I'm running.
Obviously this lspci output was collected before a crash.  I have also
seen lspci output where "CESta: RxErr+" was set on the 00:00.0 Root Port.

Do you have another PCIe card to try on the same reboot test on this board?
