MSI-X configuration is all in memory space (not config space), so I
guess this device has a BAR (maybe more) and the MSI-X table access
would be to something in that BAR? Or is there junk in the capability
so we try to access something completely outside the BAR? [I wonder if
it'd be worth adding some validation to make sure the Table and PBA
areas are contained in the BAR?]

The reason I'm curious about all this is because on the PCI side this
is probably an Unsupported Request or similar error, and on *most*
platforms, this does not cause a panic. If it was a read, the read
usually gets ~0 data, and writes are dropped.

So my concern is that we'll avoid this panic by disabling MSI, but
we'll see other panics in other places.
