Subject: [14/67] PCI: Do not run NVidia quirks related to MSI with MSI disabled

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

commit 3d2a531804d16cd8df6dbbb0429c6f143e756049 upstream.

There is no reason to run NVidia-specific quirks related to HT MSI
mappings with MSI disabled via pci=nomsi, so make
__nv_msi_ht_cap_quirk() return immediately in that case.

This allows at least one machine to boot 100% of the time with
pci=nomsi (it still doesn't boot reliably without that).

Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16443 .
