For whatever reason, some of these devices unfortunetly don't support
legacy interrupts. We expect an interrupt when the completion is posted
for setting the queue count, but failing that, we rely on the polling
thread to invoke the completion, so the device needs to be in the dev_list
before calling set_queue_count.
