Nope, that wouldn't work.
Imagine a driver that already loaded, and is already using MSI (say,
network device). What happens now if you want to access the floppy and
load the floppy module? Oh, you can't? Need to bring down the network
interface, unload that module first? Not practical.
Sure, in theory we can do some crazy callback for "you now need to re-do
your interrupt registration" for all devices. In practice, I can onyl say
"not going to happen".
