As replied to Nicolin, because it is a module param, I am ok with
adding this in the commit message, or passing disable_msipolling
as a function arg and moving the logic.

The hypervisor can not print to the kernel console, so dev_err()
will not compile, I'd rather keep that outside and let the caller

the code and stubbing dev_err().
