Hmmm.... I've been looking at the code and and a curiosity.  Why does
multiple MSI support implicitly enabled threaded IRQ handling?  Why
are those two linked?  Also, do you have any numbers to show that this
actually is better?  Handling the processing off to a thread isn't a
light operation.

Thanks.
