Agree. Ideally, from my reading of code, this change should have worked
across architectures.

You are right. Not sure what I was looking at :-(.

I think fundamentally there are two issues here.

1) MSI domain should have been setup properly when
pci_register_host_bridge() is called. I see that pci_arch_init() which
is supposed to get called early calls x86_create_pci_msi_domain().
pci_register_host_bridge() also calls pci_set_bus_msi_domain() to setup
the MSI domain which can walk up to host bridge to find. So, not sure
why PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_MSI is getting set. Is there an issue in walking up
the tree?

2) When it switches to legacy interrupt since MSI domain is not found,
for some reason there is an interrupt enabled without a handler. I was
suspecting PME since it was matching the IRQ#16 but it looks like PME
handlers are present. I am unable to find anything suspicious from the
log alone.

I really don't know how to proceed further. With my limited
understanding, I don't get any hint what is happening from the log.

Thanks,
