I think the issue is caused by pcieport_drv by which the MSI is enabled
on 0021:02:01.0. Behind the PLX downstream port, there is surprise
hotpluggable slot. When pnv-php.ko is loaded, it tries to enable MSI and
the backtrace is thrown this time. Two things can be done to avoid this
awkward situation:

(1) Prohibit pcieport_drv. It does nothing on PowerNV platform. pnv-php.ko 
doesn't depend on any functionalities exported by it.
(2) I will add some code in pnv-php.ko to skip enabling MSIx/MSI if the PLX 
downstream port has associated driver. With it, we won't see the backtrace 
hopefully. However, the surprise hotplug functionality is lost.
