Subject: [PATCH] e1000e: Simplify MSI interrupt testing

The code is quite convoluted, simplify it. This also avoids calling
e1000_request_irq() without testing the value it returned, which was
bad.

I understand that we need to request the IRQ again after testing, but
why doing it twice?

I sent this patch to the e1000-devel list on August 26th, 2010, but
didn't receive any answer:
