The ordering issue addressed in
7c1e76897492d92b6a1c2d6892494d39ded9680c was found with HPET MSI.
So, it seems like change de28f25e8244c7353abed8de0c7792f5f883588c
opened up that ordering problem again.

Thomas: Is de28f25e8244c7353abed8de0c7792f5f883588c for a specific bug
or regression on some platform?

Thanks,
Venki
