Subject: [RFC: 2.6.21 patch] let PCI_MSI depend on EXPERIMENTAL
Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2007 03:02:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070327010247.GW16477@stusta.de> (raw)

We had during the last months have quite a few MSI bugs and even 
regressions due to:
- core kernel bugs,
- device driver bugs and
- hardware bugs

OTOH, MSI doesn't bring any real advantages for most users.

Let's therefore mark PCI_MSI as EXPERIMENTAL.
