Subject: [PATCH] forcedeth: msi interrupts

From: Ayaz Abdulla <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:51:46 -0400

This patch adds a workaround for lost MSI interrupts. There is a race 
condition in the HW in which future interrupts could be missed. The 
workaround is to toggle the MSI irq mask.
