The generic PCI layer will save away the PCI config space elements
during pci_enable_msi(), including the MSI address and data values.

You can fetch the values you need from there during restore if
you need them.

See the pci_restore_msi_state() call done from pci_restore_state()
in drivers/pci/pci.c, that pci_restore_msi_state() code in
drivers/pci/msi.c very much relies upon the entry->msg values
being uptodate and valid.

The MSI arch layer code is supposed to fill the entry->msg values in
via arch_setup_msi_irq().  Perhaps the pseries code is forgetting to
do that.

So I can't really see what the problem is you're talking about.
