Wrap to fit in 80 columns like the rest of the file

Add blank lines between paragraphs.

AER is an asynchronous mechanism, so if you disable the SError,
whoever issued the MMIO read to the PCIe device will receive some kind
of data.

I hope/assume that data is ~0 as on other platforms?  If so, please
confirm this in the comment and commit log.  Otherwise, the caller
will received corrupted data with no way to know that it's corrupted.
