It seems like a better solution would be to have pci stub these out
with static inlines when !CONFIG_PCI_MSI, we already do that for quite
a lot of MSI and MSI-X callbacks.  MSI/X on the device clearly won't
work if the host doesn't support MSI, and maybe there are improvements
to be made there, but MSI is a subcomponent of vfio-pci, the module
itself shouldn't depend on MSI.  Thanks,

Alex
