The use of MSI-X interrupts is conditional on only the MSI-X Enable bit. 
Setting MSI-X Enable effectively overrides the Interrupt Disable bit in 
the Command register.

PCIe 6.0.1 section 7.7.2.2. "MSI-X Enable ... is prohibited from using 
INTx interrupts (if implemented)." And there is similar wording for MSI 
Enable.

I think you need to shuffle the checks for MSI/MSI-X in 
xen_pcibk_get_interrupt_type() so they are _before_ the check of the 
Interrupt Disable bit in the Command register.
