Multiple Message Capable

[3:1]

These read only bits indicate the number of messages
that the LSI53C1030 requests from the host. The host
system software reads this field to determine the number
of requested messages. The number of requested mes-
sages must align to a power of two. The LSI53C1030
sets this field to 0b000 to request one message. All other
encodings of this field are reserved.

MSI Enable

0

System software sets this bit to enable MSI. Setting this
bit enables the device to use MSI to interrupt the host
and request service. Setting this bit also prohibits the
device from using the INTx/ or ALT_INTx/ pins to request
service from the host. Setting this bit to mask interrupts
on the INTx/ or ALT_INTx/ pins is a violation of the PCI
specification.
