Hi Avi & Marcelo

This patchset would add emulation of MSI-X mask bit for assigned devices in
QEmu.

BTW: We are also purposed an acceleration of MSI-X mask bit for KVM - to get
it done in kernel. That's because sometime MSI-X mask bit was accessed very
frequently by guest and emulation in QEmu cost a lot(tens to hundreds percent
CPU utilization sometime), e.g. guest using Linux 2.6.18 or under some heavy
workload. The method has been proved efficient in Xen, but it would require
VMM to handle MSI-X table. Is that OK with you?
