Yes, that's my original assumption. I was told by Haitao that initial
msi support is designed in such way that dom0 is delibrately 
prevented from touch msi state, and now it looks like that Haitao
is adding back those supposed-to-be lines from native msi.c. But
I may be wrong about background and let Haitao to clarify later. :-)

Thanks,
Kevin
