In general single function device should be linked to INTA, although 
most of OS can handle otherwise:)

Back to the issue, even this abnormal machine can work with my patch, as 
our policy is handling _virtual_ INTx and providing consistent values to 
guest and xen, and physical INTx doesn't matter here.

Could you pls. test my patch without yours to see if it can work?
Thanks,
