And you can see what devices are MSI capable with
pciconf -lvc
e.g
em0@pci0:5:0:0: class=3D0x020000 card=3D0x348d8086 chip=3D0x108c8086
rev=3D0x03 hdr=3D0x00
vendor =3D 'Intel Corporation'
device =3D '82573E Intel Corporation 82573E Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (Copper)'
class =3D network
subclass =3D ethernet
cap 01[c8] =3D powerspec 2 supports D0 D3 current D0
cap 05[d0] =3D MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit enabled with 1 message
cap 10[e0] =3D PCI-Express 1 endpoint=20
