Greg, I think this stuff is ready to go so if you would pull
them in I would really appreciate it.

These changes clean up the handling of the common quirk wherein
setting INTX_DISABLE will mistakedly disable MSI generation for some
devices.

For devices without that problem, we want to keep the pci_intx() calls
in drivers/pci/msi.c because those help protect against devices with
the opposite problem. Such devices always generate INTX interrupts
even when MSI is enabled, unless INTX_DISABLE is set.

In addition to the Tigon3 cases, I added quirk entries for the
SB700/800 SATA chips and the IXP SB400 USB controllers. And as
a result of the latter we can remove several AMD full-chipset
MSI disable quirks which are no longer necessary.
