bit3 of the pci configuration status register

In PrettyOS we try to use bit3 of the pci configuration status register for matching the interrupt and the pci device to send to the corresponding device-interrupt-handler. We have noticed that qemu sets this bit3, but VMWare, VBox and some real hardware does not. Hence, we cannot use this great feature. Any comments?
