And that's wrong. Marc explained why this controller does not support
Multi MSI and that's what should go in the commit log, triggering
a WARN_ON is the least of the problems (and the WARN_ON can even
be removed after this patch is applied), if it was used as a bandaid
to prevent allocating Multi MSI it is even more broken.
