Devices with slow interrupt handlers are significantly harming performance
when their interrupt vector is shared with a fast device. This patch
creates a class code white list for devices with known fast interrupt
handlers, and all other devices will share a single vector so they don't
interfere with performance.
At the moment, only the NVM Express class code is on the list, but more
may be added if VMD users desire to use other low-latency devices in
these domains.
