No. This is my fault. I simply had forgotten that MSI were not OK on x86.

There is a known problem with MSI on x86 (explained by the FAQ link).

Given that the problem is that the interrupt controller ack/mask
functions (if I recall correctly) need, on x86, to use some Linux
primitives which can not be called from Xenomai domain, I am not sure it
is easy to fix. And the fact that you do not need the MSI in Xenomai
domain does not change anything, since ack/mask routines are called
ahead of the pipeline anyway.
