This seems really dubious and I don't see any justification at all for declaring DisINTx broken for all devices for the vendor.  Typically to call DisINTx broken for a given device, you can just boot the guest with pci=nomsi to force INTx to be used.  If that works, then DisINTx masking works.  If you require EEH injection to to trigger this, then the problem is more likely some containment issue during EEH recovery.  Thanks,
