Only for the few leftovers which implement msi_controller, i.e.

drivers/pci/controller/pci-hyperv.c
drivers/pci/controller/pci-tegra.c
drivers/pci/controller/pcie-rcar-host.c
drivers/pci/controller/pcie-xilinx.c

The architectures which select PCI_MSI_ARCH_FALLBACKS are:

arch/ia64/Kconfig:      select PCI_MSI_ARCH_FALLBACKS if PCI_MSI
arch/mips/Kconfig:      select PCI_MSI_ARCH_FALLBACKS if PCI_MSI
arch/powerpc/Kconfig:   select PCI_MSI_ARCH_FALLBACKS           if PCI_MSI
arch/s390/Kconfig:      select PCI_MSI_ARCH_FALLBACKS   if PCI_MSI
arch/sparc/Kconfig:     select PCI_MSI_ARCH_FALLBACKS if PCI_MSI

implement arch_setup_msi_irq() which makes it magically work :)

Yeah, it's nasty. One possible solution is to add flags or a callback to
pci_ops, but it's not pretty either.

I think we should go with the 'mark it after pci_host_probe()' hack for
5.10-rc. The real fix will be larger and go into 5.11.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
