Are there irqbalance patches that correspond to this? Where would they be available?

So, are there any cases where CONFIG_SYSFS is turned off and
CONFIG_MSI is set? Should there be some #ifdef CONFIG_SYSFS
magic tricks?

That is rather draconian way of doing it. I mean if the SysFS entries
can't be created, then abonden the whole thing? Why not just WARN
and continue on without creating the SysFS entries?

Why the reset to zero?

Probably should be guarded by CONFIG_SYSFS
