Thanks for the thorough testing, Gage!  So it sounds like we're not
quite generating the desired result.  We'd really like QEMU, as the
predominant userspace driver for VFIO, to generate the warning,
otherwise there's hardly any purpose to having it.  That suggests I
should have put the warning where the config space emulation is setup
rather than the irq count path.  Thanks,

Alex
