You're not the first one to try this ... the problem is, you can easily
overflow a single 4k page. A device can have up to 2k MSI-X entries,
and we might take up to 5 bytes for each one, so we'd need a 10k buffer.

The fundamental problem is that the way Linux uses MSI-X is completely
bollocks. I've got a few hours to myself on a plane coming up in six
weeks, and I hope to rewrite it then (I've already written my talk, so
what else am I going to do? :-)
