rodsmith - please try the test kernel at
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~rtg/3.13.0-16.36-mei/ - After installing you
can add the module parameter options thusly:

echo "options mei-me disable_msi=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/mei-
me.conf

This option should behave the same as my testing, e.g., disallows MSI
initialization which was preventing reboot.
