it is RHEL 5.1 problem...with msi.

somehow msi entry msi_attrib_maskbit=is_mask_bit_support always get
0...., and use msi_irq_wo_maskbit_type instead of
msi_irq_w_maskbit_type

so when load that directly without kexec
that 0x60 always to 0x00.

and this time kernel after 2.6.25-rc2 ( not included) really shutdown
the msi with 0xff the all maskbit...
