With an updated Linux kernel the kernel reprograms the same table entry
in the MSI-X table multiple times. Fortunately it does so with entry
masked (the default.)
The costly part of MSI-X table reprogramming is going out to the host
kernel to update the GSI routing entries. This change makes three
optimisations.
1. If the table entry is unchanged: skip handking updates
2. Only update the GSI routing table if the table entry is unmasked
(this skips extra calls to the ioctl() for reprogramming the
entries.)
3. Only generate a message on entry unmasking if the global MSI-X enable
bit is set.
