Sounds possible. You could probably verify it isn't my patch but running
an unpatched kernel without msi support. As I think the crash you saw should
only be reproducible when using devices that support msi.

Unless I hear different I'm going to assume that this second case is a
completely different problem. You might check to see if the acpi
interrupt is stuck after a suspend/resume cycle.

At this point I'm going to wait a bit for Tony and Len to have a
chance to give their opinion but unless I hear something I'm going to
plan on sending the patch out shortly...
