This is kind of hokey, we could use the hardware provided facilities
much better.
MSIs are assosciated with MSI Queues. MSI Queues generate interrupts
when any MSI assosciated with it is signalled. This suggests a
two-tiered IRQ dispatch scheme:
MSI Queue interrupt --> queue interrupt handler
MSI dispatch --> driver interrupt handler
But we just get one-level under Linux currently. What I'd like to do
is possibly stick the IRQ actions into a per-MSI-Queue data structure,
and dispatch them form there, but the generic IRQ layer doesn't
provide a way to do that right now.
So, the current kludge is to "ACK" the interrupt by processing the
MSI Queue data structures and ACK'ing them, then we run the actual
handler like normal.
We are wasting a lot of useful information, for example the MSI data
and address are provided with ever MSI, as well as a system tick if
available. If we could pass this into the IRQ handler it could help
with certain things, in particular for PCI-Express error messages.
The MSI entries on sparc64 also tell you exactly which bus/device/fn
sent the MSI, which would be great for error handling when no
registered IRQ handler can service the interrupt.
We override the disable/enable IRQ chip methods in sun4v_msi, so we
have to call {mask,unmask}_msi_irq() directly from there. This is
another ugly wart.

It's not really broken, but people keep running into other problems
caused by it. Re-enable it so that the drivers get stress tested.

PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE is an interesting feature, but in its current state
it seems to be more of a trap for users who accidentally enable it.
This patch lets PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE depend on BROKEN for 2.6.19.
The intention is to get this patch reversed in -mm as soon as it's in
Linus' tree, and reverse it for 2.6.20 or 2.6.21 after the fallout of
in-kernel problems PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE causes got fixed.

This moves the declarations for the architecture helpers into
include/linux/htirq.h from the generic include/linux/pci.h. Hopefully this
will make this distinction clearer.
htirq.h is included where it is needed.
The dependency on the msi code is fixed and removed.
The Makefile is tidied up.

This patch implements two functions ht_create_irq and ht_destroy_irq for
use by drivers. Several other functions are implemented as helpers for
arch specific irq_chip handlers.
The driver for the card I tested this on isn't yet ready to be merged.
However this code is and hypertransport irqs are in use in a few other
places in the kernel. Not that any of this will get merged before 2.6.19
Because the ipath-ht400 is slightly out of spec this code will need to be
generalized to work there.
I think all of the powerpc uses are for a plain interrupt controller in a
chipset so support for native hypertransport devices is a little less
interesting.
However I think this is a half way decent model on how to separate arch
specific and generic helper code, and I think this is a functional model of
how to get the architecture dependencies out of the msi code.

This provides a build and run-time option to turn on multhreaded probe
for all PCI drivers. It can cause bad problems on multi-processor
machines that take a while to find their root disks, and play havoc on
machines that don't use persistant device names for block or network
devices.
But it can cause speedups on some machines, my tiny laptop's boot goes
up by 0.4 seconds, and my desktop boots up several seconds faster.
Use at your own risk!!!

Several drivers are starting to grow options to disable MSI. However,
it's often a host chipset issue, not something which individual drivers
should handle. So we add the pci=nomsi kernel parameter to allow the user
to disable MSI modes for systems we haven't added to the quirk list yet.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
