I'm currently testing 2.6.29.1 without any additional patches but with the pci=nomsi boot option.
I didn't notice any hickups, yet. I'm running a stresstest on a GBit link for quite some time now. Earlier tests with older kernels and MSI burped earlier.
I will do more testing. If it turns out this is stable I will test the same kernel with Message Signaled Interrupts to see if that causes some breakage.
