    v13 v14  
    4747        * ACPI is now in a usable state, still disabled by default
    4848
     49        * Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI) have been implemented (r36225). They provide a different way for supporting hardware to signal an interrupt and do not require the use of the IO-APIC. Some of the FreeBSD network drivers make use of this feature which makes them not depend on the legacy PCI interrupt configuration and therefore makes the hardware work where previously no PCI interrupt was configured or where the advertised interrupt wasn't actually the one in use.

    4951        * Haiku GCC4 can now be compiled directly on a 64bit Linux distro. GCC2 still requires the use of `linux32`
