Nice -- yesterday, just a few days after this patch went into the
mainline, this VT6315 card suddenly stopped to generate any interrupt
while being in use with a soundcard and jackd.  Until then it ran
perfectly for many days, with jackd+ffado's combined workload of
AT/AR/IT/IR but also with SBP-2 workloads and one or another other
application as well.

Now I apparently need to run long-term tests with MSI switched off in order
to find out whether this malfunction is MSI related.
