The reversed logic of the PCI bit itself also makes for confusing
discusion. In an attempt to be helpful, here is a restatement of what
is happening:
1) Old 'ahci' used to clear PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE, thus ensuring INTX
interrupts are enabled... if and only if MSI is unavailable.
2) Current 'ahci' no longer does this
3) As a result, Timur's 'ahci' is no longer receiving interrupts.
Presumably this means that BOTH of the following conditions are true
a) INTX is disabled
b) MSI is not available
Today I am thinking we should either revert the libata commit
(a5bfc4714b3f01365aef89a92673f2ceb1ccf246), or poke PCI to twiddle INTX
for us at pci_enable_device() time, perhaps.
I lean towards the former, but maybe the platform folks prefer a third
solution?
