That would be the job of the PCI infrastructure, not of the bge
driver.  Quite a few motherboards/chipsets indicate MSI support
in their PCI configuration registers but do not in fact have
working MSI support.  Scott and I recently added quirk support in
sys/dev/pci/pci.c to deal with that.  Feel free to add a new entry
there.
