Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH v3] ixgbe: disable MSI-X by default on certain
	Cisco adapters

From: Nick Nunley <nicholasx.d.nunley@...el.com>

Due to an errata in 82598 parts MSI-X needs to be disabled
in certain ixgbe devices designed to transfer peer-to-peer
traffic on the PCIe bus. This patch sets the default
interrupt type to MSI rather than MSI-X for specific Cisco
ixgbe adapters.
