Yes.

I also found this.

In my idea, place the irq_set_msi_desc() in common MSI core is ok, but currently almost
all MSI arch code call irq_set_msi_desc() in arch code. So a lot of code need to change.
And arch code setup MSI and MSI-X in the same way, so if MSI work happy without irq_set_msi_desc(entry->irq, entry)
in common MSI code, MSI-X should be the same.
