intel graphics loosing msi interrupt on subsequent starts

Hello all!

Sorry if it is already reported...

I have recently upgaded X server from 1.4  to 1.6
(ports from ~23.01.2009 -> 03.05.2009).
On the first start everything works ok (including [glx]gears).
On the second and subsequent starts everything looks working but jerky,
I need to move mouse around to get some windows redrawn,
[glx]gears print warning message about not getting vblank interrupts
and outputs something about 1-2 frames per 5 seconds.

The inspectation with vmstat -i has shown that the card generates
interrupts only during the first start of X server.

If I set hw.pci.enable_msi="0" everything is working fine (start X server
multiple times, switch consoles, [glx]gears, number of irq16-s
is increasing, ...).

I can't be sure it is only due to X upgrade,
I have upgraded the base system also (~2 weeks old CURRENT -> 03.05.2009).

Some quick to gather system details:

(4 GB of RAM, Core2Duo, if it matters)
