I sent a separate patch to add these devices to the regular broken INTx
quirk in pci-core:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pci/msg61971.html

We don't currently have a device flag to specify that INTx is broken in
this particular way that vfio can work around, nor do I really know how
other drivers might make use of this info.  If I'm wrong, then
certainly let's make a common way to do this, but this patch is just a
trivial extension to an existing mechanism.  Thanks,

Alex
