I agree. I need to check with our silicon team to see what we can determine.

This is interesting. So the ICR is doing the clear on read, so that
answers the question I had about the earlier patch.

One thought on this.. Is there any reason why you are limiting this to
only the OTHER bit? It seems like RXO and the other causes that aren't
supposed to be included in the mask should probably be cleared as
well, are they auto-cleared, ignored, or is there some advantage to
leaving them set?

I plan to look into this some more over the next few days. Ideally if
we could mask these "OTHER" interrupts besides the LSC we could comply
with all the needed bits for MSI-X. My concern is that we are still
stuck reading the ICR at this point because of this and it is going to
make dealing with MSI-X challenging on 82574 since it seems like the
intention was that you weren't supposed to be reading the ICR when
MSI-X is enabled based on the list of current issues and HW errata.

At this point it seems like the interrupts is firing and the
INT_ASSERTED is all we really need to be checking for if I understand
this all correctly. Basically if LSC is set it will trigger OTHER and
INT_ASSERTED, if any of the other causes are set they are only setting
OTHER.
