This reverts commit d4774a568ba0a5923229974a002972c83eb04570. The patch is incomplete because kernel 4.16+, while being capable of mapping MSI-X BARs, will also report if such a capability is available. Without checking this capability, gratuitous errors are displayed on kernels <4.16 while VFIO is attempting to mmap MSI-X BAR and fails, which can be confusing to the user.

Applied, thanks
