Nak, this is not what vfio_pci_nointx() is meant for, it's been tried
before and it was broken:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c?id=834814e80268c818f354c8f402e0c6604ed75589

This would cause *every* VF to print:

	dev_info(&pdev->dev, "Masking broken INTx support\n");

If the device is incapable of generating INTx then it's probably better
to drop it at vfio_pci_get_irq_count().  Please also note the subject is
misidentified, this is a "vfio/pci" patch, not an "x86/pci" patch.
kvm@...r is the official list for vfio patches.  Thanks,
