The following patch adds MSI support. Some platforms
may have broken MSI, so those are defaulted to use
legacy PCI interrupts.

Vivek,
Do we even still need the parameter? I'm thinking either MSI works
with a chipset
or it doesn't. The kernel has globals to "know" which state is true.

If the parameter is needed, when this driver is compiled into the kernel, how
is "msi" parameter specified?
I think the parameter needs to be documented and fit in with other
"msi" parameters.
See "nomsi" in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.

If you want to keep this module parameter, can I suggest calling the
exported parameter "sata_sil24_msi"?

I'm not able to test this since the chipset I have sata_sil24 devices
plugged into don't support MSI (older AMD/Nvidia chipset). :(

pci_intx() isn't documented in MSI-HOWTO.txt  - because it's already called:
    pci_msi_enable() -> pci_msi_enable_block() -> msi_capability_init()
       -> pci_intx_for_msi(dev, 0) -> pci_intx(pdev, 0);

(thanks to willy (Mathew Wilcox) for pointing me at
msi_capability_init() - I overlooked it)

Please add "Reviewed-by: Grant Grundler <grundler@google.com>" once the
variable name is changed and the pci_intx() call is removed.

cheers,
grant

Sometimes even in a platform, some PCIe endpoints do very 
well with MSI while others may have to resort to legacy ints. 
Should we let the endpoints make the final call.

In this case "msi" is supposed to be passed via insmod and 
not via kernel cmdline. If the driver is built-in the kernel, 
then force sata_sil24_msi = 1 in the driver to enable it.

Will do it in the subsequent patch.

Will take care in the upcoming patch

First, the original patch was just fine, and it was applied.  You should 
have received email confirmation of this already.

Second, all module options are available on the kernel command line, 
when a module is built into the kernel.  You supply a module name prefix 
to each module option, on the kernel command line.

Yes, I did.

Correct, sata_sil24.msi enables it.
