That's weird, AFAICT the patch I've send you should force isci to use 
the legacy interrupt, but it seems it still tries to use MSI-X.

I've attached another patch that will force isci to print some 
messages, can you try that?

It should be applied on a clean tree, since it also contains the change 
to xen_msi.c I've send you before, and of course you should not set 
hw.isci.force_legacy_interrupts when testing it.

Can you confirm the device works properly with 
hw.isci.force_legacy_interrupts=1?

Thanks, Roger.
