You can't disable MSI at a bridge -- according to the PCI spec, as
soon as a device has the MSI enable turned on, it must start using MSI
for interrupts and must not ever assert an interrupt pine. The issue
with AMD 8131 is that it doesn't have any MSI support and just
silently throws away MSI messages, and so the host never gets
interrupts from devices in MSI mode. Which means any device below
such a host bridge better not have MSI or MSI-X enabled.
