[PATCH] forcedeth: Disable INTx when enabling MSI in forcedeth
At least some nforce cards continue to send legacy interrupts when MSI is enabled, and these interrupts are treated as unhandled by the kernel. This patch disables legacy interrupts explicitly when enabling MSI mode. The correct fix is to change the MSI infrastructure to disable legacy interrupts when enabling MSI, but this is potentially risky if the device isn't PCI-2.3 or is quirky, so the correct fix is going into mainline, while patches like this one go into -stable. Legend has it that it is most correct to disable legacy interrupts before enabling MSI, but the mainline patch does it in the other order, and this patch is "obviously" the same as mainline.
