This is totally undesirable. We don't want the device sending out MSI messages unless the driver for it explicitly knows that it is operating the device in this mode.
TG3 will disable MSI for several chip variants as well. It will also disable MSI if it's internal self-test of MSI functionality fails. - 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/
