OK, can you add the bugzilla link to that patch, if there is one?

Could we move pci_msi_init_pci_dev() from msi.c to pci.c and make it look
something like the following?
void pci_msi_off(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
if (dev->msi_cap) {
...
}
if (dev->msix_cap) {
...
}
}
void pci_msi_init_pci_dev(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_PCI_MSI
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&dev->msi_list);
#endif
dev->msi_cap = pci_find_capability(dev, PCI_CAP_ID_MSI);
dev->msix_cap = pci_find_capability(dev, PCI_CAP_ID_MSIX);
pci_msi_off(dev);
}
Then I think we could remove pci_msi_off() calls from a couple quirks as
well. And we'd only have one MSI-related callout from
pci_init_capabilities().
