Summary

There is a (very historical) call to pci_assign_interrupt for the
purpose of routing IRQs which may have been set up wrong by x86 BIOS
or firmware. On non-x86 systems, this is unnecessary; and on INTRNG
systems it results in a (synthetic) IRQ leak and ultimately a kernel
panic after many hotplug/unplug cycles.

Could it bring a new flow of messages into the kernel message buffer? After today's upgrade of my desktop PC, I see plenty of "Can't enable IRQ/MSI because no handler is installed," which didn't appear in the past.

It was triggered by D49543 (likely) and seems to be harmless so far.
