[Xen-devel] [PATCH] AMD/IO-APIC: Use old IO-APIC ack method if AMD 813{1, 2} PCI-X tunnel is present

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The IO-APICs on the above two PCI-X HyperTransport Tunnels will issue illegal
HT packets if an interrupt gets masked while active.

This is sadly exactly what the "new" IO-APIC ack mode does.  The "old" ack
mode does however avoid this bad behaviour, and stabilises an affected system
belonging to a customer.
