>Description:
FreeBSD 7 built a few weeks ago used MSI on two MSI capable interfaces (82572 chips).
The recent substantial changes to emdriver have broken emdriver's use of MSI. Inspection of if_em.c shows em_attach() calls em_allocate_pci_resources() which for a 82572 based NIC to use MSI ends up requiring the bus.type field in the adapter structure to be set to e1000_bus_type_pci_express. However the bus type is not initialised until the call to e1000_get_bus_info() which is called AFTER em_attach() calls em_allocate_pci_resources().
I have been investigating the use of MSI to avoid interrupt sharing in a new system with a significant number of PCI express NICs.
