--- Comment #17 from John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> ---
I don't think the commenter in #3 understood what "broken" might mean in the
context of MSI or MSI-X, so I attempted to give more detail on how a partic=
ular
type of breakage might boot Linux ok but not FreeBSD (as was the case for X=
en).
 However, if VMWare 6.0 is known to work we could alter the quirk to instead
use the version of VMWare (e.g. via SMBIOS strings or what not) instead of =
PCI
device IDs to know when to apply the quirk.

In terms of what VMware would investigate, I gave very specific details (do=
 you
implement an MSI-X shadow table, etc.) that someone familiar with the
implementation would be able to investigate.  This is not "not caring", thi=
s is
"the best suggestions I can give of what to look for given what I know of h=
ow
FreeBSD's use of MSI-X differs from Linux assuming I don't get to look at t=
he
sources myself".
