Subject: [PATCH] pci_regs: reintroduce PCI_MSIX_FLAGS_BIRMASK

This partially reverts commit 09a2c73ddfc7f173237fc7209a65b34dd5bcb5ed.
    PCI: Remove unused PCI_MSIX_FLAGS_BIRMASK definition

That commit dropped a symbol from an exported header claiming "no one
uses it". This isn't how Linux normally approaches userspace API though,
and in fact QEMU build fails if trying to use updated headers from linux
3.12 and up.

Sure, userspace can be fixed to use the new symbol, but the cost
of keeping the old one around is fairly low, too.
