Already when they were introduced, they seemed overly lax. In particular
anything invoked solely from vpci_{read,write}() can check that the per-
domain PCI r/w lock is held. There's no need to permit the alternative of
holding the global PCI devices lock.

vpci_msi_arch_update()'s sole call site is update_msi(), which in turn is
solely called from write handling hooks.

vpci_msi_update(), besides being called from vpci_msi_arch_update() (see
above), has two further call sites:
- vpci_msi_arch_enable(), called upon control register writes,
- vpci_msix_arch_enable_entry(), called solely from update_entry(), which
  in turn is again called upon control register writes, plus from
  msix_write(), which read-locks the domain's PCI lock.
Both arch_enable functions therefore can also have their assertions
adjusted.

vpci_msi_disable() is called from
- vpci_msi_arch_disable(), called upon control register writes, 
- vpci_msix_arch_enable_entry(), covered above,
- vpci_msix_arch_disable_entry(), called update_entry() (see above) and
  upon control register writes.

With this perhaps the comment near the top of vpci_msix_arch_print() might
better go away. Thoughts?
