There may be setups, where legacy interrupts are not available. This is
the caese, e.g., when Linux runs as guest (aka. non-root cell) of the
partitioning hypervisor Jailhouse. There, only MSI(-X) interrupts are
available for guests.
But the 8250_pci driver currently only supports legacy ints. So let's
enable MSI(-X) interrupts.
Nevertheless, this needs to handled with care: while many 8250 devices
actually claim to support MSI(-X) interrupts it should not be enabled be
default. I had at least one device in my hands with broken MSI
implementation.
So better introduce a whitelist with devices that are known to support
MSI(-X) interrupts. I tested all devices mentioned in the patch.
