[BNX2]: Disable MSI on 5706 if AMD 8132 bridge is present.
MSI is defined to be 32-bit write. The 5706 does 64-bit MSI writes
with byte enables disabled on the unused 32-bit word. This is legal
but causes problems on the AMD 8132 which will eventually stop
responding after a while.
Without this patch, the MSI test done by the driver during open will
pass, but MSI will eventually stop working after a few MSIs are
written by the device.
AMD believes this incompatibility is unique to the 5706, and
prefers to locally disable MSI rather than globally disabling it
using pci_msi_quirk.
Update version to 1.4.45.
