ivshmem: Leave INTx alone when using MSI-X
The ivshmem device can either use MSI-X or legacy INTx for interrupts. With MSI-X enabled, peer interrupt events trigger an MSI as they should. But software can still raise INTx via interrupt status and mask register in BAR 0. This is explicitly prohibited by PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 3.0, section 6.8.3.3: While enabled for MSI or MSI-X operation, a function is prohibited from using its INTx# pin (if implemented) to request service (MSI, MSI-X, and INTx# are mutually exclusive). Fix the device model to leave INTx alone when using MSI-X. Document that we claim to use INTx in config space even when we don't. Unlike other devices, ivshmem does *not* use INTx when configured for MSI-X and MSI-X isn't enabled by software.
