[PATCH] forcedeth: msi interrupts

[Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla@nvidia.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 234 bytes --]

This patch adds a workaround for lost MSI interrupts. There is a race 
condition in the HW in which future interrupts could be missed. The 
workaround is to toggle the MSI irq mask.
