I have an ACPI machine with a gicv2 (no m), and a MSI region that isn't described by ACPI because its non-standard. In the past this tended to work because PCIe device drivers would fall back to legacy pci intx silently. But, with 5.13, it seems this series now triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE() in arch_setup_msi_irq, because duh, no MSI support.

Everything of course continues to work, it just gets this ugly splat on bootup telling me basically the machine doesn't support MSIs. So, I considered a few patches, including just basically setting nomsi if gicv2 && acpi, or eek a host bridge quirk.

None of these seem great, so how can this be fixed?

Thanks,
