Commit ee81ee84f873("PCI: vmd: Disable MSI-X remapping when possible")
disable the vmd MSI-X remapping for optimizing pci performance.However,
this feature severely negatively optimized performance in multi-disk
situations.

In FIO 4K random test, we test 1 disk in the 1 CPU

when disable MSI-X remapping:
read: IOPS=1183k, BW=4622MiB/s (4847MB/s)(1354GiB/300001msec)
READ: bw=4622MiB/s (4847MB/s), 4622MiB/s-4622MiB/s (4847MB/s-4847MB/s),
io=1354GiB (1454GB), run=300001-300001msec

When not disable MSI-X remapping:
read: IOPS=1171k, BW=4572MiB/s (4795MB/s)(1340GiB/300001msec)
READ: bw=4572MiB/s (4795MB/s), 4572MiB/s-4572MiB/s (4795MB/s-4795MB/s),
io=1340GiB (1438GB), run=300001-300001msec

However, the bypass mode could increase the interrupts costs in CPU.
We test 12 disks in the 6 CPU,

When disable MSI-X remapping:
read: IOPS=562k, BW=2197MiB/s (2304MB/s)(644GiB/300001msec)
READ: bw=2197MiB/s (2304MB/s), 2197MiB/s-2197MiB/s (2304MB/s-2304MB/s),
io=644GiB (691GB), run=300001-300001msec

When not disable MSI-X remapping:
read: IOPS=1144k, BW=4470MiB/s (4687MB/s)(1310GiB/300005msec)
READ: bw=4470MiB/s (4687MB/s), 4470MiB/s-4470MiB/s (4687MB/s-4687MB/s),
io=1310GiB (1406GB), run=300005-300005msec
