This particular case was with e1000em that only supported INTx, but the 
function selected MSI-X simply because it's the first one attempted, 
even though it got 0 vectors.  Enabling interrupts then failed.  If the 
function had checked the vector count it would have correctly selected 
INTx.  Now, my setup might have been quite old but it doesn't change 
that it selected wrong interrupt type.
