Thanks a lot for noticing and bisecting this!

I opened a bugzilla report at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71691

It seems like clearing DisINTx has some effect on MSI. I don't see
anything in the spec that would suggest this (I'm looking at the PCIe
r3.0 spec, sec 7.5.1.1).

Can somebody point out a connection between DisINTx and MSI? If not,
maybe we'll need some sort of quirk to deal with this.

Andrea, can you attach a complete dmesg log and "lspci -vv" output to
the bugzilla?

Thanks again!

Bjorn
