generate an interrupt using an inbound Memory Write on its
PCI bus instead of asserting a device IRQ pin.

-config PCI_LEGACY_PROC
- bool "Legacy /proc/pci interface"
- depends on PCI
- ---help---
- This feature enables a procfs file -- /proc/pci -- that provides a
- summary of PCI devices in the system.
-
- This feature has been deprecated as of v2.5.53, in favor of using the
- tool lspci(8). This feature may be removed at a future date.
-
- lspci can provide the same data, as well as much more. lspci is a part of
- the pci-utils package, which should be installed by your distribution.
- See <file:Documentation/Changes> for information on where to get the latest
- version.
-
- When in doubt, say N.
-
-config PCI_NAMES
- bool "PCI device name database"
- depends on PCI
- ---help---
- By default, the kernel contains a database of all known PCI device
- names to make the information in /proc/pci, /proc/ioports and
- similar files comprehensible to the user.
+ Use of PCI MSI interrupts can be disabled at kernel boot time
+ by using the 'pci=nomsi' option. This disables MSI for the
+ entire system.
- This database increases size of the kernel image by about 80KB. This
- memory is freed after the system boots up if CONFIG_HOTPLUG is not set.
-
- Anyway, if you are building an installation floppy or kernel for an
- embedded system where kernel image size really matters, you can disable
- this feature and you'll get device ID numbers instead of names.
-
- When in doubt, say Y.
+ If you don't know what to do here, say N.
