If this turns out to help this particular gentleman, then I'd like to
suggest a further test of having the bge driver explicitly reset the
the INTxDIS bit after calling bus_setup_intr(). If that works, then I
strongly suggest that we treat this as a localized quirk that drivers
will need to manage for themselves, and not something that the PCI layer
should try to control. It might be possible to set up some sort of
hint system for drivers to programatically tell the PCI layer to treat
this bit special for a particular device instance. What I don't want
to see is the PCI layer growing yet another hidden quirk table of
PCI IDs. This kind of quirk knowledge belongs in the driver.
