It should, yes. Thank you. Will do.

It is not obvious to me if you mean this with vfio-pci-core probe,
but it looks like a change to vfio_pci_core_enable() may be
appropriate with a snippet like below:

diff --git a/drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_core.c b/drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_core.c

+
 	if (!vfio_vga_disabled() && vfio_pci_is_vga(pdev))
 		vdev->has_vga = true;
 
Please do note that I placed it outside of the earlier "if (msix_pos)" since
pci_msix_can_alloc_dyn() has its own "if (!dev->msix_cap)". If you prefer
to keep all the vdev->*msix* together I can move it into the if statement.

With vdev->has_dyn_msix available "allow_dyn_alloc" can be dropped as you
stated.

Thank you. Will do. To keep this patch focused I plan to separate
this change into a new prep patch that will be placed earlier in
this series.

new_ctx is not required for correctness but instead is used to keep
the code symmetric. 
Specifically, if the user enables MSI-X without providing triggers and
then later assign triggers then an error path without new_ctx would unwind
more than done in this function, it would free the context that
was allocated within vfio_msi_enable().
