I posted it at some point. It was that the MSI-X enable op stashes the
error value in op->value. But 'op->value' is an unsigned int so the
value ends up being 0xfffffe or such. And the other PV frontends only
check for !0 - and manufacture their own value (-EINVAL).

Hence I want to update the pciff.h .. Oh here is the patch:
Oh man. A year?!

Anyhow this can be posted as a cleanup patch seperately of the
bug-fixes.

commit 393be47782bca7a24d3e365448d4d3d1a303abfe
Author: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

    xen/pcifront/pciback: Update pciif.h with ->err and ->result values.
    
    The '->err' should contain only the XEN_PCI_ERR_* type values.
    The '->result' may contain -EXX values or any other value
    that the XEN_PCI_OP_* deems appropiate.
    
    As such update the header and also the implementations.
