[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] Fix VMware emulated e1000 doesn't support INTX_DISABLE flag

[Kirill A. Korinsky]

When you try to run any DPDK-app in VMWare with e1000/82545EM NIC
you have a lot of lines like:

  EAL: Error reading from file descriptor 9: Input/output error

The reason of this error is bad INTX emulation in VMWare
and pci_intx_mask_supported return false every time.
