As an aside...

Never forget that hardware vendors _always_ want their latest stuff to the default <whatever>. :)

In the grand scheme of things, I really don't see why we need to rush into anything, on the PCI MSI front. Support exists. Drivers work as-is today. Is it terribly urgent to default PCI MSI on in pci_enable_device()?

Things are still shaking out with regards to broken devices, and broken system chipsets.
