Subject: [ 74/75] drm/radeon: disable MSI on RV515

3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Dave Airlie <airlied@...hat.com>

commit 16a5e32b83fd946312b9b13590c75d20c95c5202 upstream.

My rv515 card is very flaky with msi enabled. Every so often it loses a rearm
and never comes back, manually banging the rearm brings it back.
