Limitations with regards to MSI message configuration of a CDX device:

1) MSI write value is at most 16 useable bits

2) MSI address value must be the same across all vectors of a single CDX device
This would be the (potentially IOMMU translated) I/O address of
GITS_TRANSLATER. As long as that IOMMU translation is consistent across a 
single device, I think we should be OK.

I do try, but the corporate mail client that we're stuck with seems to just merge
everything back together. Sigh.
