Sometime back when I tried raising MSI-X from EP, it was failing. It's quite
possible dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq function is not correct.

MSI-X table can be obtained from the inbound ATU corresponding to the MSIX bar.
IMO MSI-X support in EP mode needs rework. For instance set_msix should also
take BAR number as input to be configured in the MSI-X capability. The function
driver (pci-epf-test.c) should allocate memory taking into account the MSI-X table.
