Thank you again for the feedback!

I agree. This is due to my limitation with knowledge and resources to
debug the issue happening on non-UEFI x86 system with some particular
PCIe RC. Also, I was worried that we get into a rat hole of
assumptions/quirks with various architecture/PCIe RC combinations.

For ex: I think the issue is, somehow MSI domain is not set at the time
of PCI host bridge registration in pci_register_host_bridge() causing
PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_MSI to be set. This causes pci_alloc_irq_vectors() to
fail. In portdrv.c, pcie_init_service_irqs() doesn't switch to INTx
handling if MSI can not be used. It switches only if pcie_pme_no_msi()
returns true. I couldn't find who actually sets up MSI domain bit late
on this platform so that it somehow worked when we didn't set this flag.

Unfortunately, I don't have system to root cause and fix this issue with
confidence. Also, I don't know if any other architectures have similar
issues which are not caught yet. Hence, I thought it may be better
just restrict the change to RISC-V.

Let me know your thoughts. If there are better ways, I will be happy to
update.

Thanks,
Sunil
