The creation and release of interrupt context involves several steps that can fail. Cleanup after failure is done when the error is encountered, resulting in some repetitive code. Support for dynamic MSI-X will introduce more steps during interrupt context creation and release. Transition to centralized exit path in preparation for dynamic MSI-X to eliminate duplicate error handling code. Ensure no remaining state refers to freed memory.
