This is broken.  Linux drivers expect MSI to be disabled on ->probe.
There's at least two reasons for that:

 (1) Many devices that claim to implement MSI are actually broken in
     more or less subtile ways. and thus must use traditition INTx pins.
 (2) MSI defines relaxed semantics for dma synchronization.  Silently
     enabling MSI could cause subtile data corruption.
