Re: [Xen-devel] MSI badness in xen-unstable

Hi Bruce,

I tripped over the same warning trying to solve my freezes.
Jan Beulich has posted a patch which is not in xen-unstable yet: [Xen-devel] 
[PATCH] x86/msi: fix inverted masks in c/s 22182:68cc3c514a0a

That fixes the warn, but my machine still keeps freezing non the less.
(but it also does so with pci=nomsi so it's not msi specific in my case)
