Subject: [PATCH 2.6.32 v3] Conditional MSI support for sata_nv

At least the nVidia MCP55 controller quite happily supports MSI.
This adds an option to use it. It is disabled by default.
As per feedback by Robert Hancock, it will honour the user 
request as the kernel will not enable MSI where the controller 
or the specific system configuration do not support it.
