If you find your name in the Cc header, you are either submitter of one
of the bugs, maintainer of an affectected subsystem or driver, a patch
of you caused a breakage or I'm considering you in any other way possibly
involved with one or more of these issues.

I probably can't fix this bug. Not only do I doubt that the e1000 driver is at
fault here, I don't have a system with this particular chipset. Most likely the
regression comes from a combination of MSI layer rewrites and possibly platform
issues. We've seen many reports that are similar and all are on the platform
type mentioned here. I really don't want to point fingers here either.
None of the MSI code in e1000 has changed significantly either. as far as I can
see, the msi code in e1000 has not changed since 2.6.18. Nonetheless there's no
way I can debug any of this without a system.
I will address the fact that we are lacking any of these systems to test on, but
that is not going to get this issue handled (not to mention soon) in the way it
needs to be.
I strongly encourage the people on the linux-pci list to help out, I'll trace
the e1000 driver for suspicious activity (again), but I run countless tests on
the latest trees and nothing has shown up recently, other than Eric Biederman's
msi irq reclaim leak fix.
Perhaps Adam can git-bisect this issue? Adam?
Cheers,
Auke
