I enabled the MSI interrrupts on 85xx/86xx board similar to the IBM/U3 board. Did not enable another host as on 83xx board. Put the 256 MSI interrupts after the 256 system interrupts and use the same mpic host. This can work and can reuse most of the mpic_msi codes. but since the host_map of MSI is something different with MPIC. I also think it's good idea to make a 2 level PIC handling mechanism for MSI on 85xx/86xx board and common the code to support for both IPIC and MPIC for fsl board. > > Micheal, what is your opinion ?? > > > > Jin is working on 86xx msi now. > > What PCIe cards are you using to test MSIs? I used a SysKonnect 1000M PCIe ether card and the SATA driver to test the MSI on 85xx/86xx board.
