Running on Vista32, I have a PCIe device that supports MSI. The
CM_PARTIAL_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR has a value of 0x8 for the
MessageInterrupt.Translated.Level member, but device manager shows
that the IRQ is 0xFFFFFFFC ( -4?). There is a KB that describes this
situation but does not indicate whether this is expected behavior or
anything of that nature. It merely says it is aware of it.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

For me, this looks like insignificant implementation detail of MSIs in
Windows. Is this bad? is the device OK?
