Re: [PATCH] pci-quirks: disable MSI on RS400-200 and RS480, take #2

[Jay Cliburn <jacliburn@bellsouth.net>]

Can someone (Greg K-H?) tell me the status of the below patch?  Is it
planned for 2.6.22?  It looks like a useful generic "let's disable msi
on board x" that I might want to use for the atl1 network driver.

Thanks,
Jay
