I'm glad to hear that this works for you... I'm sorry that my driver dev / architecture skills are a bit out of date, but I've found the following info on MSI:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Signaled_Interrupts
http://lwn.net/Articles/44139/
It sounds like this is a new spec for handling interrupts that uses shared memory. Presumably this should improve performance and should improve flexibility in dealing with systems with a wider variety of devices. It should also allow hardware manufacturers to decrease pin count.

Is this an accurate user-level summary of MSI?

these info-sources are most welcome and give a thorough explanation, even for a non-technician as me.

thank you very much!
