(In reply to Marius Strobl from comment #2)

I tried to search for the history behind why this quirk was introduced for
VMware virtual machines in the first place, as we've never shipped a version of
ESXi where the implementation of MSI or MSI-X was broken, like the comment
suggests it was in ESXi 5.1 and before.

So there have been no bumps to the PCI revision IDs of these devices that can
identify when it was broken v/s fixed as from our POV it was never broken.

Can you point me to some bug report or mailing list archive or something that
details what was supposedly broken w.r.t. "MSI-X allocation on ESXi?"
