--- Comment #22 from John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> ---
I think a patch that only disabled MSI for <=3D 5 seems reasonable given th=
at no
one has reported it breaking on anything newer than that when setting the
tunable.  Comment 19 suggests 5.5 is still broken, so I think disabling it =
for
all of 5.x by default seems prudent.  I think that type of quirk would requ=
ire
removing the existing device-ID-based entry and instead adding a "manual" q=
uirk
that checks for VMWare (e.g. VM_GUEST_VMWARE) and then checks the major
version.  I'm not quite sure how to get the major version of VMWare, perhaps
via the hypervisor cpuid leaf or the vmware_hvcall() function.
