From: Eric W. Biederman For devices that do not support msi-x we only support 1 interrupt. Therefore we can disable that one interrupt by disabling the msi capability itself. If we leave the intx interrupts disabled while we have the msi capability disabled no interrupts should be delivered from that device. Devices with just the minimal msi support (and thus hitting this code path) include things like the intel e1000 nic, so it looks like is going to be a fairly common case and thus important to get right.
