I was going to ask exactly the same question. For some platforms IOAPICs (thus legacy interrupts) aren't possible eg with PCIe hotplug or such, so MSI interrupts are required. The PCIe spec mandates that they are available for perhaps these purposes, just there is no mechanism in linux to test and fall back to legacy interrupts if there are platform issues.
