Currently multiple MSI mode is limited to a single vector per device (at least on x86 and PPC). This series breathes life into pci_enable_msi_block() and makes it possible to set interrupt affinity for multiple IRQs, similarly to MSI-X. Yet, only for x86 and only when IOMMUs are present. Although IRQ and PCI subsystems are modified, the current behaviour left intact. The drivers could just start using multiple MSIs just by following the existing documentation. The AHCI device driver makes use of the new mode and a new function - pci_enable_msi_block_auto() - patches 4,5. The series is adapted to Ingo's -tip repository, x86/apic branch. Patches 4,5 could be applied independently of patches 1-3.
