That is the consensus opinion.

Currently drivers implement the MSI tests because the core PCI code 
hasn't been up to snuff.  I (and others) have been discouraging that, 
but when a user faces a choice between working and non-working network, 
the pragmatic solution wins.

All efforts to get us to the point where we can remove the MSI tests 
from drivers are strongly supported...
