-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

From: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org>

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.

The general patch got into mainline last night, and this patch is clearly
the same as that one, limited to the case of forcedeth (the pci_intx()
calls are lifted from {enable,disable}_msi_mode to all of the indirect
callers in forcedeth).
