Hi,
Some users have been sending init logs for Athlon kernels that include PCI warning messages about the PCI cache line size getting set incorrectly ... where the kernel thinks that the right value is 16 bytes. Since 64 bytes is the right number, it's dangerous to enable MWI on such systems.
This patch stops trying to use MWI; it's a workaround for the misbehavior of that PCI cacheline-setting code. Please apply to 2.5 and 2.4 trees.
Please don't -- Ivan has a patch for this, let's get that in instead.
I'd be happy with that, except on the 2.4 trees where we haven't seen such a patch yet. (So Greg -- please hold off on this for 2.5 unless/until it becomes clear Ivan's patch won't happen.)
We all acknowledge your patch is a workaround, but this sort of fix does not belong in the mainstream kernel. We want to fix it The Right Way(tm), once. And since a patch already exists for this...
Yep, I figured CC'ing LKML would help move things forward ... :)

We need to get IvanK's extended-save-restore-state patch in, too.
Ivan, would you be up for a repost on lkml?
