PS, this is the state of the card just now after this failure:
10:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6315 Series Firewire
Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6315 Series Firewire Controller
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 74
$ grep "74:" /proc/interrupts
74: 132906417 17969317 15309448 18166551 42716375 33292391
30609551 28301206 PCI-MSI-edge firewire_ohci
I am used to defective MSI support manifesting itself right after driver
initialization, not after long periods of use with, say, 319271256 proper
interrupts before it goes belly-up. And indeed, the issue with VT6315
rev 0 was an instantaneous malfunction, not a rare and random one
(http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2010-12/msg02301.html).
I wonder what's up with my VT6315 rev 1.
