The generic PCI layer very well can turn off MSI on all devices
when it starts up or a device is plugged in.

That's all he is doing.

Drivers essentially expect that the device comes up in INTX mode
when the driver probes the device.  All his change is doing
is forcing that to be true, and there is no reason the generic
PCI code can't do that.
