When a device supports MSI, it can generate an interrupt request to the processor by writing a
predefined data item (a message) to a predefined memory address.
The reporting of the existence of this capability can be disabled by setting MSICH (CAPL [0] @
7Fh). In that case walking this linked list will skip this capability and, instead, go directly from
the PCI PM capability to the PCI Express capability.
