The test patch was based on the first info from Realtek which made me
think that the base address of the MSI-X table is cleared, what
obviously is not the case.

After some further tests it seems that the solution isn't as simple
as storing the MSI-X table entries on suspend and restore them on
resume. On my system (where MSI-X works fine) MSI-X table entries
on resume are partially different from the ones on suspend.

Unfortunately I don't have affected test hardware, currently I'm
waiting for further feedback from Realtek.
