Generally, look at IOA offset and GR02 to see where it died.
If it's not a kernel address, start trying to figure out what it is.
Lots more magic in the PIM dump that I don't understand either.

In this HPMC dump, I don't know where 0x19bf0 is...

The firmware on the workstations tries to give a high level decoding
of the error:

This typically means something in the IO path didn't respond
to a CPU read.
