Subject: [PATCH] [e1000] Lower the MSI unavailable message to INFO priority

Currently, if MSI is enabled but unavailable the e1000 prints an error
message "Unable to allocate MSI interrupt Error" with ERR priority.
This is confusing to users since this is not a functionality error;
the driver will immediately afterwards try to acquire a conventional
PIC/APIC interrupt and will print another message if that fails.

Accordingly, lower the priority of this message to INFO priority, since
it does not reflect any sort of loss of functionality, but rather just a
limitation of the configuration of the runtime system.
