Subject: [PATCH 0/2] PCI: MSI: Deal with devices lying about their masking capability

Rui reported[1] that his Nvidia ION system stopped working with 5.15,
with the AHCI device failing to get any MSI. A rapid investigation
revealed that although the device doesn't advertise MSI masking, it
actually needs it. Quality hardware indeed.

Anyway, the couple of patches below are an attempt at dealing with the
issue in a more or less generic way.
