I don't suppose bashing 0x1868 instead of 0x88068 works here?  If not,
next thing would be to mmiotrace the binary driver and see if you can
make it enable+use MSI on it.  I doubt the current legacy driver does
it by default, but there was some magic to enable it that you can
probably find if you google around.
