Would you mind rephrasing this changelog in generic PCIe terms?  E.g.,
"LPI" and "GIC SPI" are meaningless to me (I assume they're
arm64-specific things), but I don't think it's any arm64-specific
thing that motivates this change.  IIUC, the issue should occur any
time we're not using MSI, so we should be able to describe it in
purely PCIe terms.

s/dpc/DPC/ in text.

It looks like this changelog is intended to be multiple paragraphs; if
so, please leave a blank line between them.  It's a little awkward to
infer "this is a new paragraph" from the fact that "the previous line
didn't look full" :)

Please rebase to my "master" branch (v4.16-rc1).  There was some minor
change that made this not apply cleanly.
