There is one such case, as highlighted in the commit log of this patch:

"""
This is needed because the x86 Xen implementation of
teardown_msi_irqs() needs to do some work, and then call the default
implementation of this hook.
"""

Any suggestion on how to solve this particular case?

Thanks,

Thomas
