It would be better to look for any PCI bridge. Sometimes there are different PCI bridges around (e.g. external PCI-X bridges on HT systems) which might need own quirks Also in the x86 world Microsoft defined a FADT ACPI flag that MSI doesn't work for Vista. It might make sense to do if (dmi year >= 2007 && FADT.msi_disable not set) assume it works > This patch should be safe.

The FADT bit should be probably checked anyways. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
