Virtualization - Jun 2009 - [PATCHv2 RFC] qemu/msix: remove msix_supported safety flag

Don't add an option for platforms to disable MSI-X in all devices.
Paul Brook will find and fix all platforms that have broken MSI-X
emulation.

This patch on top of my msix series v6 is a bit tongue in cheek: it
shows what can be done and Paul seems to think it's a good idea. So even
though I don't necessarily agree, I'll let others decide on it.

Changes since v1:
  rebased on top of MSIXv6.
