Recover from MSI-X errors by automatically falling back on regular interrupt,
instead of asking the user to do this manually.  This makes it possible to
enable MSI-X by default, and will make it possible to get rid of msi_x module
option in the future.

While the previous version worked fine in the good case,
it turns out it didn't actually recover from errors as intended.
This version was tested by patching the MSI-X handler routine.
