I can't personally verify it anymore because I removed x86_64 to
duplicate the MSI problem on i386, but the driver was working fine under
x86_64 in earlier versions of 2.6.21-rcX. The first hint of a problem
was a report on March 12 by a user running a 32-bit 2.6.19 Fedora 6
kernel who encountered a kernel panic on network startup.

Absolutely, yes. MSI is enabled and working for me on a 64-bit
kernel on an Intel-based motherboard, and Luca Tettamanti reports no
problems running a 32-bit kernel on a similar motherboard. (Luca wrote
the MSI patch for the atl1 driver.)
Well, I've a P5B-E, with Intel chipset (and Intel usually gets MSI right).
Can you run the linux firmware test
(http://www.linuxfirmwarekit.org/)? FADT test may shed some light on
the issue.
