This patch does not fix virtio_scsi at all, which as you noticed, is
correct. It really fixes the PPC MSI setup, which is starting to show
its age. So getting rid of the reference seems like the right thing to
do.

I'm also not keen on the BugId thing. It should really be a lore link.
I also cannot find any such tag in the kernel, nor is it a documented
practice. The last reference to a Bugzilla entry seems to have happened
with 786b5219081ff16 (five years ago).

Thanks,
