That way drivers don't typically have to do it, yet they can still opt to override it if they need to. For Tegra for example I think it would work if we assigned the MSI chip to the root bus (in tegra_pcie_scan_bus()) and then have it propagated to child busses in pci_alloc_child_bus() so that tegra_pcie_add_bus() can be removed altogether.
