MC—Message Control Register
System software can modify bits in this register, but the device is prohibited from doing 
so.
If the device writes the same message multiple times, only one of those messages is 
ensured to be serviced. If all of them must be serviced, the device must not generate 
the same message again until the driver services the earlier one.

will not be generated and INTA Status (PCISTS1[3]) will not 
be set.
