2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Andre Detsch commit 8435b027b87a78145992c37b0b8ed0f1b7761bf0 upstream. Patch f598282f5145036312d90875d0ed5c14b49fd8a7 exposed a problem in powerpc MSI-X functionality, making network interfaces such as ixgbe and cxgb3 stop to work when MSI-X is enabled. RX interrupts were not being generated. The problem was caused because MSI irq was not being effectively unmasked after device initialization.
