So I messed around with this machine for a good part of the day. I built
and booted 3.14-rc4, then instrumented the mei and mei-me modules to
show the various setup and teardown stages. I think they are correct.
What I did find were some issues with MSI. In fact, if you boot with MSI
disabled (pci=nomsi) on the kernel command line, then this machine won't
_reboot_ without a power cycle. This seems indicative of a BIOS problem.

I then removed pci=nomsi and instrumented the MEI module such that it
does not attempt to use MSI (instead uses normal threaded interrupts)
and voila it started rebooting.

I guess the solution is to either add a module parameter to the MEI
module that allows one to selectively disable MSI, or get the platform
BIOS vendors to fix their MSI support. Note that there are other
consumers of MSI on this platform such as the igb NIC driver.
