Actually, we will probably want to do the opposite, eg. pick
GICv2 over GICv3 if the latter doesn't allow us to use PCIe.
Yes I think the easiest solution is to select the GICv2 + v2m combo to
get the MSI support. This depends on whether the limitations linked to
GICv2 usage are acceptable in your case (max 8 cpus for instance).
