'InterComm' is the spelling in the latest datasheet, it's short for "Inter Fabric Manager Communication". Thanks.

Hmm, not sure I don't have this event in my datasheet which is a little out of date. Kelvin, whose CC'd, would know if we can change the spelling hopefully he can weigh in on this. As far as I know the define isn't used anywhere yet.

Upstream Error Containment -- I'll mention that in the commit message.
