Hi,

Great! This is what I needed to get MSI going on my MCP51 board. I added some 
ids, but I think there were not necessary, as I only got

PCI: 0000:00:00.0: enabled HT MSI mapping
PCI: 0000:00:10.1: enabled HT MSI mapping

were those devices are:
00:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2)

According to your patch, you named this device
+#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_NVIDIA_NFORCE_C51_MEMC0   0x02F0
So is the lspci database not correct or your naming? lspci lists some 
memcontrollers for me, but they don't seem to have MSI specific items.


00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)

Yay:
cat /proc/interrupts
319:         26       9357   PCI-MSI-edge      HDA Intel


So, now sata_nv and nvidia binary graphics driver could activate MSI, as 
well. :-)

One thing I noticed in the patch:
+		if (((bridge_dev = pci_find_slot(0, 0)) != NULL) &&

You rather want to use pci_get_bus_and_slot instead, as pci_find_slot is 
deprecated.

Thanks!
