While I agree to this part, ...

... I don't think this one's right: Admittedly I should have changed
the return value from 0 to an actual error (e.g. -EBUSY) - I simply
overlooked that after doing the copy-and-paste operation.

Whether disabling and switching to the alternative mechanism
is the right thing to do here I don't know. But I'm pretty certain
that old_desc may now be leaked, as msi_free_irq() isn't being
called on it and set_irq_msi() also doesn't check whether
irq_desc[].msi_desc is already non-NULL.

Same thing (obviously) for the second part of the changes.
