commit cc943c36faa192cd4b32af8fe5edb31894017d35
pci: Use bus master address space for delivering MSI/MSI-X messages
breaks virtio-net for rhel6.[56] x86 guests because they don't
enable bus mastering for virtio PCI devices. For the same reason,
rhel6.[56] ppc64 guests cannot boot on a virtio-blk disk anymore.
Old guests forgot to enable bus mastering, enable it automatically on
DRIVER (guests use some devices before DRIVER_OK).

OK this is the simpler patch that I had in mind.
Could you try this out please? If this works we could drastically
simplify a bunch of code dealing with bus master.
