Why do you think you need this?

Either the system supports MSI or it doesn't.  The original reason for
only enabling MSI on SPI cards was that it reduced the number of bug
reports since FC and SAS cards are likely to be used on machines with
functional MSI.

This is of course a horrible hack.  The right thing to do is to detect
that you've never received an interrupt, disable MSI, enable regular
interrupts and try again.
