Hi Marc,

Thanks for your review.

Yes, I find this problem after analyzing the reason of VM hung. At last, I
find that the virtio-gpu cannot receive the MSI interrupts due to sharing
a same event_id as virtio-serial.

See https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/10/299 for the bug report.

This problem can be reproducted with high probability by booting a Qemu/KVM
VM with a virtio-serial controller and a virtio-gpu adding to a PCI Bridge
and also adding some delay before creating ITS device.

Should it return *err* here?
