BTW.
The kernel I'm using has MSI-x support enabled and this same thing
also occurs on the default FC11 2.6.29.4-167 kernel.
Below is a partial dump of 'lspci -vv'.
I only pasted the output from the virtio networking device and from
the virtio block device.
You can notice that the block device doesn't have the MSI-x capability.
Is there something I can tell QEmu to add the MSI-x capability to the
virtio block device?
