Most cases are fine: INTX is idempotent; MSI and MSIX mixed up should be caught
by the C API already.

I'm aware of a preexisting issue with mixing INTX and either MSI or MSIX, since
calling pci_free_irq_vectors() on the INTX one would also disable MSI/MSIX.

I plan to fix it up when fixing the C bitfied issue [1] with an additional flag.
