Subject: [ 39/58] xen-pciback: rate limit error messages from xen_pcibk_enable_msi{,x}()

3.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@...e.com>

commit 51ac8893a7a51b196501164e645583bf78138699 upstream.

... as being guest triggerable (e.g. by invoking
XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msi{,x} on a device not being MSI/MSI-X capable).

This is CVE-2013-0231 / XSA-43.

Also make the two messages uniform in both their wording and severity.
