To backport that to 3.18.y takes 2 other patches to get it "correct".

Yeah, but that really isn't needed unless 4d9aac397a5d ("powerpc/PCI:
Disable MSI/MSI-X interrupts at PCI probe time in OF case") is also
there, along with 1851617cd2da.

I think I'm just going to revert this as no one is complaining about
this issue on 4.4.y and 3.18.y kernels.  Thanks for the review.
