First off, you can't post emails with confidentiality notices on
mailing lists so remove it from now onwards.

Secondly, I commented on this before, so you know what my opinion is.

Finally, please execute this command on the vmlinux that "works"
for you:

nm vmlinux | grep -E '__initcall_(xgene_pcie_msi_init|acpi_init)'

Even by ordering devices in the ACPI tables (that I abhor) I still do
not understand how this works (I mean without relying on kernel link
order to ensure that the MSI driver is probed before PCI devices are
enumerated in acpi_init()).

Thanks,
Lorenzo
