Hi Bjorn and Yijing,
	I originally plan was to move irq_set_msi_desc() into common
PCI MSI code. But when implementing this, I found every
arch_setup_msi_irq()/arch_setup_msi_irqs() needs to set msidesc->irq,
thus need to lock the irq descriptor. So I realized we should
rely on arch_setup_msi_irq() to call irq_set_msi_desc():)
