PCI/portdrv: Remove "pcie_hp=nomsi" kernel parameter
7570a333 ("PCI: Add pcie_hp=nomsi to disable MSI/MSI-X for pciehp driver") added the "pcie_hp=nomsi" kernel parameter to work around this error on shutdown: irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Pid: 1081, comm: reboot Not tainted 3.2.0 #1 ... Disabling IRQ #16 This happened on an unspecified system (possibly involving the Integrated Device Technology, Inc. Device 807f bridge) where "an un-wanted interrupt is generated when PCI driver switches from MSI/MSI-X to INTx while shutting down the device." The implication was that the device was buggy, but it is normal for a device to use INTx after MSI/MSI-X have been disabled. The only problem was that the driver was still attached and it wasn't prepared for INTx interrupts. Prarit Bhargava fixed this issue with fda78d7a ("PCI/MSI: Stop disabling MSI/MSI-X in pci_device_shutdown()"). There is no automated way to set this parameter, so it's not very useful for distributions or end users. It's really only useful for debugging, and we have "pci=nomsi" for that purpose. Revert 7570a333 to remove the "pcie_hp=nomsi" parameter. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Reviewed-by: Rafael J.
