Hi Wei, so you got a non-zero 'pin' value returned by the host when the guest reads
from the MMIO config page. What's the consequence? Will VFIO try to use the legacy INTx 
rather than MSI/MSI-X? I'm curious how you noticed the bug. I'm also curious why the
host doesn't return 0 for the 'PIN' register when the guest reads it from the config page.

I suppose it didn't cause any issue because the PCI device drivers use MSI/MSI-X,
so they don't care about the values of the 'PIN' and 'LINE' registers.

Thanks,
