[PATCH v3] xen/pass-through: merge emulated bits correctly

[Chuck Zmudzinski]

In xen_pt_config_reg_init(), there is an error in the merging of the
emulated data with the host value. With the current Qemu, instead of
merging the emulated bits with the host bits as defined by emu_mask,
the emulated bits are merged with the host bits as defined by the
inverse of emu_mask. In some cases, depending on the data in the
registers on the host, the way the registers are setup, and the
initial values of the emulated bits, the end result will be that
the register is initialized with the wrong value.

To correct this error, use the XEN_PT_MERGE_VALUE macro to help ensure
the merge is done correctly.

This correction is needed to resolve Qemu project issue #1061, which
describes the failure of Xen HVM Linux guests to boot in certain
configurations with passed through PCI devices, that is, when this error
disables instead of enables the PCI_STATUS_CAP_LIST bit of the
PCI_STATUS register of a passed through PCI device, which in turn
disables the MSI-X capability of the device in Linux guests with the end
result being that the Linux guest never completes the boot process.
