MSI interrupts appear to not work for nv46 based cards. Change the mc subdev oclass for these cards from nv44 to nv4c, the nv4c mc code is identical to the nv44 mc code except that it does not use msi (it does not define a msi_rearm callback).
I'm fine with this, but it'd be nice to check that the binary driver doesn't/can't use MSI on these too (there might be an alternate method we need to use).
Would you be able to grab the latest proprietary driver that works on nv4x, and do a mmiotrace of it? You *might* need to use "modprobe nvidia NVreg_EnableMSI=1", because at some point NVIDIA didn't use it by default anywhere.
AFAIK the blob never used MSI on nv4x. Perhaps we should have just left it alone...
They have support for it, it was just never on by default (for any chipset) during the supported lifetime of nv4x.
