Okay, thanks Adrian.  I didn't realize I was making a mistake.  I've
been waiting for the below patch to make it upstream, but it landed
in stable first, so I guess there's a regression as you indicate.  My
patch depends upon this one.


Subject: [patch 41/69] pci-quirks: disable MSI on RS400-200 and RS480
Date: Mon, 21 May 2007 12:16:53 -0700
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
User-Agent: quilt/0.46-1

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>

MSI doesn't work on RS400-200 and RS480 requiring pci=nomsi kernel boot
parameter for ahci to work.  This patch renames quirk_svw_msi() to
quirk_disable_all_msi() and use it to disable MSI on those chips.
