In talking with a few people about the MSI kernel code, they asked why we can't just do the pci_enable_msi() call for every pci device in the system (at somewhere like pci_enable_device() time or so). That would let all drivers and devices get the MSI functionality without changing their code, and probably make the api a whole lot simpler. Now I know the e1000 driver would have to specifically disable MSI for some of their broken versions, and possibly some other drivers might need this, but the downside seems quite small. Or am I missing something pretty obvious here? thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
