As far as I can tell from reading the data sheet, the standard AMD
8131 PCI-X does not support MSI/MSI-X, so if that's what you are using
then MSI-X will not work. I have no information on the nForce4 or
other Opteron PCI Express chipsets, but they should support MSI (since
it is a mandatory part of the PCI Express spec). The only question is
whether they will use the same message address/contents as Intel. If
not then updates to the core Linux support are required.
