Subject: [PATCH 3.18 045/183] drm/nv4c/mc: disable msi

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

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

From: Ilia Mirkin <imirkin@...m.mit.edu>

commit 4761703bd04bbdf56396d264903cc5a1fdcb3c01 upstream.

Several users have, over time, reported issues with MSI on these IGPs.
They're old, rarely available, and MSI doesn't provide such huge
advantages on them. Just disable.
