The code following disable_msix does not call pci_disable_msix().  It 
frees the allocated vector buffer and loads the firmware that uses a 
single interrupt vector.  So, it is "disable" in the sense that the 
driver is not going to use MSI-X vectors.  I agree that naming could be 
better.

disable_msix:
         if (mgp->msix_vectors != NULL) {
                 kfree(mgp->msix_vectors);
                 mgp->msix_vectors = NULL;
         }

abort_with_fw:
         mgp->num_slices = 1;
         set_fw_name(mgp, old_fw, old_allocated);
         myri10ge_load_firmware(mgp, 0);
