That's the kind of thing I was angling for. You'll have to store the
device pointer into the scratchpad (we still have plenty of space there)
so that msi_finish() can have a peek.

Something like that (though I'm unclear why other devices wouldn't see a
root port, but that's probably me lacking some PCIe foo).
