It doesn't seem like we should have to tell the PCI core about
functionality we *don't* have.

I would think IMSIC would be detected before enumerating PCI devices
that might use it, and if we *haven't* found an IMSIC by the time we
get to pci_register_host_bridge(), would/should we set
PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_MSI there?

I see Thomas is cc'd; he'd have better insight.
