Subject: [PATCH 4.4 073/133] PCI/MSI: Skip masking MSI-X on Xen PV

From: Marek Marczykowski-Górecki <marmarek@...isiblethingslab.com>

commit 1a519dc7a73c977547d8b5108d98c6e769c89f4b upstream.

When running as Xen PV guest, masking MSI-X is a responsibility of the
hypervisor. The guest has no write access to the relevant BAR at all - when
it tries to, it results in a crash like this:

    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc9004069100c
    #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
    #PF: error_code(0x0003) - permissions violation
    RIP: e030:__pci_enable_msix_range.part.0+0x26b/0x5f0
     e1000e_set_interrupt_capability+0xbf/0xd0 [e1000e]
     e1000_probe+0x41f/0xdb0 [e1000e]
     local_pci_probe+0x42/0x80
    (...)

The recently introduced function msix_mask_all() does not check the global
variable pci_msi_ignore_mask which is set by XEN PV to bypass the masking
of MSI[-X] interrupts.

Add the check to make this function XEN PV compatible.
