If the allocation of multiple MSI vectors for multi-MSI fails in the core

vector, assuming that meets the min_vecs specified by the requesting

Hyper-V advertises that multi-MSI is supported, but reuses the VECTOR
domain to implement that for x86. The VECTOR domain does not support
multi-MSI, so the alloc will always fail and fallback to a single MSI
allocation.
In short, Hyper-V advertises a capability it does not implement.
Hyper-V can support multi-MSI because it coordinates with the hypervisor
to map the MSIs in the IOMMU's interrupt remapper, which is something the
VECTOR domain does not have. Therefore the fix is simple - copy what the
x86 IOMMU drivers (AMD/Intel-IR) do by removing
X86_IRQ_ALLOC_CONTIGUOUS_VECTORS after calling the VECTOR domain's
pci_msi_prepare().

Ping?
I don't see this in -next, nor have I seen any replies. It is possible
I have missed some kind of update, but currently I'm wondering if this
change is progressing or not. If there is some kind of process used in
this area, I'm not familiar with it, so I would appreciate an introduction.
Thanks
-Jeff
