This is broken on it's own, vfio_irq_ctx_get() depends on a valid
num_ctx, therefore this function always returns -EINVAL.  This was
resolved upstream by b156e48fffa9 ("vfio/pci: Use xarray for interrupt
context storage") which was from the same series, so this issue was
never apparent upstream.  Suggest dropping this and fe9a7082684e
("vfio/pci: Disable auto-enable of exclusive INTx IRQ") for now and
we'll try to rework the latter to remove the dependency.  Thanks,

Alex
