And you can see what devices are MSI capable with
pciconf -lvc
e.g
em0 at pci0:5:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x348d8086 chip=0x108c8086
rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82573E Intel Corporation 82573E Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (Copper)'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
cap 01[c8] = powerspec 2 supports D0 D3 current D0
cap 05[d0] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit enabled with 1 message
cap 10[e0] = PCI-Express 1 endpoint
