Some more of my paranoid questions :)

So, if a driver tries to enable MSI and that is unsuccessful (I'll try to avoid 
using the possibly loaded term "fails") shouldn't that show-up _somewhere_? 
Just how "normal" is an attempt to enable MSI not succeding going to remain over 
time and aren't there times when it does indeed mean that someone should be 
looking into it?
