looks good - Jesse, what do you think?

Rafael, i'm curious is this in response to some regression/bug? Did some
box or driver get confused by us enabling/disabling the GSI? Some IRQ
flood perhaps?

btw., there's a small observation:

> + if (!dev->msi_enabled && !dev->msix_enabled)

maybe a "pci_has_gsi_irq()" wrapper would make these checks cleaner and
would make things more robust, should there be any new IRQ delivery method
be introduced in the future?
