I'm having an issue with an xHCI (USB 3.0 host controller) Express Card. This card works fine on 2.6.37, but on 2.6.38-rc5, when I plug in the card, I get this output in dmesg:

Feb 22 16:32:28 xanatos kernel: [  119.346100] Disabling IRQ #23

I haven't had a chance to bisect yet.

Given that there wasn't any big new features added to the xHCI driver in 2.6.38, I don't think my code is the culprit here. Could it be a USB core or ACPI issue?

I think it is, before the xHCI driver switches to MSI/MSIX. I'd have to disable MSI in 2.6.37 to confirm.

Mm. Sounds like it's the hardware generating a legacy IRQ after you've changed to MSI? Any chance this could be related to the irq synchronisation patches?

Could be related, but I'm not sure that's the issue. I don't see any messages at all from the xHCI driver or the USB core about the new host before the "nobody cared" message appears (although it turned out I have CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD_DEBUGGING turned off). AFAICT, the driver never gets loaded. But if the xHCI driver failed in its init sequence... I'll check.
