Such overhead is going to be amortized.

AHCI is not like networking where we have lots of very small
transactions to deal with, and therefore the per-IRQ overhead can
begin to dominate.

Therefore, like Eric, I think workng on multiple MSI is a very dubious
usage of one's time.  But, it's your time, so use it how you wish :)
