The rest of this series makes sense to me.  If you want to remove an
IOAPIC, you want to make sure all of the IRQs using that IOAPIC have been
freed.

But I'm trying to figure out this patch.  Do you want to free the IRQ when
enabling MSI because it enables you to remove the IOAPIC without removing
the device?  That wouldn't really make sense to me because then the device
has no possibility of using INTx.
