They definitely worked. I think what happens is that this register was
normally setup by the vendor-specific bootloader, and thanks to
firmware initialization, Linux had MSIs working properly.

With other bootloaders that initialize the PCIe block differently, or
even not at all, it became clear this init was missing in Linux.
