Francois attached a patch to the bugzilla entry that ignores the failure
to enable MWI on the device. That may get the NIC up and running, but
that area of the driver doesn't seem to have changed since 2.6.32, so
perhaps this is just a canary -- I'm betting that the cache line size is
not getting set properly, and it probably affects more than just this
NIC.
