8.1 should support this just fine.  All MSI-X requires is that the driver have 
allocated and activated the relevant BAR before calling pci_alloc_msix().  
This makes the PCI bus code simpler for exactly the case you mention since the 
bus doesn't have to deal with trying to allocate the same BAR twice, etc.
