From 309e57df7b766172ba137a8cbd909f88dd76e8e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Wilcox Date: Sun, 5 Mar 2006 22:33:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Provide a boot parameter to disable MSI Several drivers are starting to grow options to disable MSI. However, it's often a host chipset issue, not something which individual drivers should handle. So we add the pci=nomsi kernel parameter to allow the user to disable MSI modes for systems we haven't added to the quirk list yet.
