Sure, per the spec there isn't.  But in reality, devices ship with
broken interrupt support.  What's your plan for dealing with the bug
reports from users who have misconfigured MSI support or IRQ lines that
are routed to the wrong place?  From my time maintaining SCSI drivers,
this wasn't an uncommon bug report.
