What you say above makes sense.
OK so the simplest fix is something like below then.
Fixes the duplication and kexec for CONFIG_PCI_MSI=n.
Acceptable? Pls let me know, if yes I'll test and
resubmit properly.

I'll check this point. Maybe not - the real bugfix is
patch 2/4, this was just found by reading code,
but it's a dependency to make sure 2/4 does not
introduce regressions.
