From f6be6fbe262d065e85be159ea27460852f13ec90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland Dreier Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 18:37:41 -0700 Subject: IB/mthca: Schedule MSI support for removal The mthca driver supports both MSI and MSI-X. However, MSI-X works with all hardware that the driver handles, and provides a superset of what MSI does, so there's no point in having code for both. Schedule MSI support for removal in 2008 to give anyone who actually needs MSI and who can't use MSI time to speak up.
