Commit 5a11d0f7 mistakenly converted a log message into an error
condition when no pin interrupt is found for the pci device being
passed through. Revert that part of the commit.

hello bruce,

AFAIK, the message in error object will be printed to stderr or current 
monitor according whether we have a monitor. I just checked XEN_PT_LOG, 
message is only printed to stderr. If Xen pt device can be hotplugged 
via monitor command device_add, I guess using error object is right.

Yours Sincerely,
Cao jin

Hi bruce,

Thanks for pointing it out, I didn't have much knowledge on this topic, 
but you words buys me, I am fine with the patch.
