<p>Problem solved: To enable MSI -> eventfd signalling we had
to set the bus master enable bit in PCI config space (bit 2 at

<pre wrap="">
What do you mean by "acknowledge"? This effectively acknowledges the
eventfd, but it's up to your driver to service the hardware upon
receiving the eventfd notification. The eventfd is only the signaling
mechanism. Thanks,
Alex
