https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/kernel/interrupt-affinity-and-priority
Looks like IRQ affinity can only be set by registry or inf files. I assume
that means it is not dynamic and hence avoids the challenges related to
moving interrupts around at runtime.

The Legacy interrupt simply doesn't work for the wifi on at least 8 new Acer
laptop products based on Intel Apollo Lake.
Plus 4 Dell systems included in the patches in this thread:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/26/55
(the 2 which I can find specs for are also Apollo Lake)

We have tried taking the mini-PCIe wifi module out of one of the affected
Acer products and moved it to another computer, where it is working fine
with legacy interrupts. So this suggests that the wifi module itself is OK,
but we are facing a hardware limitation or BIOS limitation on the affected
products. In the Dell thread it says "Some platform(BIOS) blocks legacy
interrupts (INTx)".

If you have any suggestions for how we might solve this without getting into
the MSI mess then that would be much appreciated. If the BIOS blocks the
interrupts, can Linux unblock them?

Just for reference I'm attaching my latest attempt at enabling MULTI_PCI_MSI.
It would definitely need further work if we proceed here - so far I've
ignored the affinity considerations that you explained, and it's not
particularly clean.

I'll now have a look at polling for interrupts in the ath9k driver.
