    xen/pciback: Don't allow MSI-X ops if PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY is not set. · 68f3d721

    commit 408fb0e5 upstream.
    
    commit f598282f ("PCI: Fix the NIU MSI-X problem in a better way")
    teaches us that dealing with MSI-X can be troublesome.
    
    Further checks in the MSI-X architecture shows that if the
    PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY bit is turned of in the PCI_COMMAND we
    may not be able to access the BAR (since they are memory regions).
    
    Since the MSI-X tables are located in there.. that can lead
    to us causing PCIe errors. Inhibit us performing any
    operation on the MSI-X unless the MEMORY bit is set.
    
    Note that Xen hypervisor with:
    "x86/MSI-X: access MSI-X table only after having enabled MSI-X"
    will return:
    xen_pciback: 0000:0a:00.1: error -6 enabling MSI-X for guest 3!
    
    When the generic MSI code tries to setup the PIRQ without
    MEMORY bit set. Which means with later versions of Xen
    (4.6) this patch is not neccessary.
    
    This is part of XSA-157
