Yeah, it seem to cause a lot of problems on certain chips but I think
the correct path is to add PCI quirks for those. Most MSI problems I've
seen are on these ATI chips. Do you happen to know any other?

We had devices that didn't do MSI right, e.g. forcedeth and others I
can't recall now.

AFAIK that's a broken diagnosis. It's the system, not the device, that is problematic.
