From: Karol Herbst kherbst@redhat.com
[ Upstream commit a121027d2747168df0aac0c3da35509eea39f61c ]
On my GP107 when I load nouveau after unloading it, for some reason the GPU stopped sending or the CPU stopped receiving interrupts if MSI was enabled.
Doing a rearm once before getting any interrupts fixes this.
