    vfio/pci: Mask buggy SR-IOV VF INTx support · db04264f
    Alex Williamson authored
    The SR-IOV spec requires that VFs must report zero for the INTx pin
    register as VFs are precluded from INTx support.  It's much easier for
    the host kernel to understand whether a device is a VF and therefore
    whether a non-zero pin register value is bogus than it is to do the
    same in userspace.  Override the INTx count for such devices and
    virtualize the pin register to provide a consistent view of the device
    to the user.
    
    As this is clearly a spec violation, warn about it to support hardware
    validation, but also provide a known whitelist as it doesn't do much
    good to continue complaining if the hardware vendor doesn't plan to
    fix it.
