Alex Williamson 1ae5bfee6c vfio/pci: Mask buggy SR-IOV VF INTx support
[ Upstream commit db04264fe9 ]

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.

Known devices with this issue: 8086:270c

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
