Based on your description, the patch looks good. This will fallback to
legacy emulated pin interrupts, and that's better than timeout polling,
but will still appear sluggish compared to MSI's. Is there an errata
from the vendor on this? I'm just curious if the bug is at the Device ID
level, and not something we could constrain to a particular model or
firmware revision.

Interesting, the MSI capability does look weird here. I've never seen
MSI-x count smaller than the MSI's. As long as both work, though, I
think nvme would actually prefer whichever is bigger!
