Which is pretty obvious why:

   pcim_enable_device()
        devres_alloc(pcim_release...);
        ...
        pci_irq_alloc()
          msi_setup_device_data()
             devres_alloc(msi_device_data_release, ...)

and once the device is released:

    msi_device_data_release()
    ...
    pcim_release()
       pci_disable_msi[x]()

Groan....
