Sure, but we don't add code just for fun, so unless there's a good
reason to add the feature - like better performance - we won't bother.

That commit was merged in 3.9-rc1, ie. a few days ago, so no it has not been
in x86 for a long time.

That code removes the need for your first patch, which is a good start.
Please send a new version using irq_set_msi_desc_off().
