Hi all.

Is there a way to disable MSI for pcie_pci? The reason I ask -- since I
don't even know what it means exactly :-) -- is b.o.o. 6825122 née
d.o.o. 7841.

I'd been told that the cause of the issue is the putback for 6611254. I
see now [1] that that putback also included 6499336 (pcie_pci should use
MSIs). Combine that with the facts that the initial introduction of the
use of MSI interrupts with nVidia video cards resulted in hangs on two
of my systems (MCP61) until that option was disabled in nvidia.conf, and
that the introduction of the use of MSI interrupts with audio in build
123 resulted in a hang on one of my systems (MCP51) until that option
was disabled in audiohd.conf (d.o.o. 11449), and I'm starting to wonder
if my kernel panics were not caused by the addition of pcie error
handling on various x86 platforms. :-)

I'd really like to be able to re-add a second video card to the system
in question. If what's preventing me from being able to do so is the use
of MSI interrupts, and if there's a magical line I can add to some .conf
file somewhere, that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance. Take care.
