I got a patch from Jeff, but it was marked as totally untested, and wasn't even signed-off, so I asked for that to be fixed, and never heard back.
If somebody sends me the patch that disables INTx when MSI is enabled, with testing, and saying "I verified that this fixed it for me", I will happily apply it.
NOTE: _I_ want the one that is PCI-wide. No per-driver stuff, please. I'm of the opinion that any hardware that supports MSI but doesn't support INTx_DISABLE from PCI-2.3 (or at least do it automatically and ignore the bit in the config word) should just not use MSI at all. Such hardware is simply broken (and nobody has actually pointed to an example of that existing in the real world, so we really most likely will never care about the theoretical situation about something that might react badly to having MSI enable automatically disable INTx).
