Looking back through the mailing list, there have been
various incarnations of this patch to add MSI support to the
44x.  Every one that I looked at had this same line of code
in it so I am not sure they worked.  In any case I am trying
to make it work on my system (which is how I found the bug).
When I enable the "sdr-base" line in the MSI section of my
dts, it just reboots continuosly right after "Loading Device
Tree ....".  I tried renaming it to "msi-sdr-base" just in
case there was a conflict (since it is reading through the
entire tree) but that did not help.  If I understand
correctly, the ppc4xx_msi_probe function must be executing
very early since I suspect something in setup_pcieh_hw is 
what causes it to fail.
