I guess this needs a way of telling whether it has "for real" MSI or
not. That 1800 range is on NV41:NV50 according to rnndb, which
probably means that it's safe to use msi on nv41+ (via the 88068
address, since the 1800 stuff disappears on nv50+). [Based purely on
speculation, btw, not on hardware experimentation. I assume
pci_enable_msi() would implicitly fail on any non-pcie card, e.g. nv4a
which is an agp version of nv44, and all the pci versions of the 6200
(and later) cards... i think there are some 8-series pci cards too.]
