The second interrupt should not be lost! It should be marked in the local
APIC's IRR bitmap and should hence cause an interrupt to fire as soon as the
in-service interrupt is EOIed (and hence cleared from the local APIC's ISR
bitmap).

Are you thus *sure* this is really the root-cause of your problem?

Could it be that the MSI *is* maskable, and that masking/unmasking loses
interrupt messages, for example?
