A irelevent question: Here we set the flag unconditionally. Can the
MSIx table be exposed to user space unconditionally? Do we have issues
if the MSIx related BAR isn't page aligned or overlapped with others?

Yongji, I guess the corresponding value to PCI_BUS_FLAGS_MSI_REMAP
would be 4 other than 3. Otherwise, two of the flags cannot exist
at the same time.
