This breaks things like kdump when they try to use e.g. virtio-blk.

Fix by forcing msi off at startup. Since pci.c already has
a routine to do this, we export and use it instead of duplicating code.


Why doesn't a device reset result in msi being cleared?

Shouldn't a reset be equivalent to power cycling?
