    virtio: return ENOMEM on out of memory
    
    add_buf returns ring size on out of memory,
    this is not what devices expect.

    virtio-pci: disable msi at startup
    
    virtio-pci resets the device at startup by writing to the status
    register, but this does not clear the pci config space,
    specifically msi enable status which affects register
    layout.
    
    This breaks things like kdump when they try to use e.g. virtio-blk.
    
    Fix by forcing msi off at startup. Since pci.c already has
    a routine to do this, we export and use it instead of duplicating code.
