Indeed. How about checking dev->msi_domain first, which should tell you
whether it is even possible to allocate MSIs, and fallback to wired IRQs
instead. That way, we keep the warning on genuine failures to allocate
MSIs, and you get to add a nice "Falling back to wired interrupts"
message when msi_domain is NULL.

Thoughts?
