I'm using the 4.19-rt jailhouse. Do you know of any relevant changes
upstream? Anyway, it's worth a try, let me test upstream...

At least for 4.19, it looks like I'm not able to easily switch to MSI.
At the moment, I don't even understand why the kernel actually uses
legacy interrupts, while MSI cap is present. Something is odd there, I'd
expect that MSI is, if available, the perefered method. But even the
root-cell after boot won't enable MSI. Still investigating...

I hope that I can switch to MSI with maybe a dirty hack, but I need more
time to dig through the kernel's PCI stack (PCI starts bugging me). You
can find things there you never wanted to know! :-)
