Before doing anything else, I would like to ask you to report the code
paths leading to failures (what fails actually ?) please, and I want
to understand what "this does not work" means.

In particular:

- Why using pci_msi_create_default_irq_domain() works
- Why, if you change the DSDT nodes ordering, things work (please add
  some debugging to MSI allocation functions to detect the code paths
  leading to correct MSI allocation)
- What's the difference wrt the DT probe path

When we have a detailed view of MSI allocation code paths and failures
we can see what we can do to fix it in ACPI.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
