Each replicated Status Block has its own format; however, each of the new status block formats is extrapolated
from the legacy status block format.
Single-Vector RSS Mode Status Block Format
Table 92 on page 247 shows the Status-Block format used by Vector#0 in the Single-Vector RSS mode. Note
that first 24B of this structure is identical to the legacy Status Block.

Note: Although High Priority INT Mail Boxes are DWORD (32-bit) registers, the original four were
placed on QWORD (64-bit) boundaries for legacy PCI 64-bit target access purposes. Broadcom’s
PCIe does not allow 64-bit target accesses. Thus, the new Mailboxes are being placed 32-bits apart;
however, we are keeping the original four addresses intact.
