That's an indication of the driver having failed its MSI allocation
and gone back to INTx signalling.

So is this issue actually tied to the async probing? Does it always
work if you disable it?

I don't see much going wrong there, and the ITS driver correctly
dishes out interrupts. I'll take the current -next for a ride on my
own HW and see what happens.
