Can't we find a more clever solution than just copying stuff around ?

Something like this:

diff --git a/drivers/pci/msi.c b/drivers/pci/msi.c
index 69b7be3..36d607c 100644
--- a/drivers/pci/msi.c
+++ b/drivers/pci/msi.c
@@ -60,7 +60,12 @@ int arch_setup_msi_irqs(struct pci_dev *dev, int nvec, int type)
 #endif
 
 #ifndef arch_teardown_msi_irqs
-void arch_teardown_msi_irqs(struct pci_dev *dev)
+# define arch_teardown_msi_irqs default_teardown_msi_irqs
+# define HAVE_DEFAULT_MSI_TEARDOWN_IRQS
+#endif
+
+#ifdef HAVE_DEFAULT_MSI_TEARDOWN_IRQS
+void default_teardown_msi_irqs(struct pci_dev *dev)
 {
 	struct msi_desc *entry;
 
That way you can override arch_teardown_msi_irqs with x86_msi_ops, define
HAVE_DEFAULT_MSI_TEARDOWN_IRQS in asm/msi.h and set the default
pointer to default_teardown_msi_irqs().

Thanks,
