So I guess I found the answer to my own question. msi_free_irqs was apparently 
added
in 2.6.22-something. I don't find it in 2.6.21.2 or anywhere else. So somebody 
broke a
couple of things.
The most noticable is cciss hangs after turning on interrupts. The reason for 
that is
the kernel now looks at my array of MSI-X vectors in reverse order. We have 4 
ways of
generating an interrupt on Smart Array hw. They are:

#       define DOORBELL_INT     0
#       define PERF_MODE_INT    1
#       define SIMPLE_MODE_INT  2
#       define MEMQ_MODE_INT    3

For INTx these four lines are OR'ed together and run to one interrupt pin. MSI-X
breaks this hardware OR'ing so we must register either all 4 or at the least the
correct interrupt. When I first submitted the MSI/X support I was registering 
all 4.
Someone changed that to only register a single MSI-X vector. That worked fine 
until
2.6.22-something. 
Now it appears that the kernel is looking at the array in reverse order. IOW, I 
must
register PERF_MODE_INT in order for cciss to work. That's messed up. Anybody 
want to
`fess up to making these changes? :)
I'll keep working this, but I'm going to undo someones change when I figure out 
where
it's broke.
