Currently pci_enable_msi_block() and pci_enable_msix() interfaces
return a error code in case of failure, 0 in case of success and a
positive value which indicates the number of MSI-X/MSI interrupts
that could have been allocated. The latter value should be passed
to a repeated call to the interfaces until a failure or success.
This technique proved to be confusing and error-prone. Vast share
of device drivers simply fail to follow the described guidelines.
This update converts pci_enable_msix() and pci_enable_msi_block()
interfaces to canonical kernel functions and makes them return a
error code in case of failure or 0 in case of success.
As result, device drivers will cease to use the overcomplicated
repeated fallbacks technique and resort to a straightforward
pattern - determine the number of MSI/MSI-X interrupts required
before calling pci_enable_msix() and pci_enable_msi_block()
interfaces.
Device drivers will use their knowledge of underlying hardware
to determine the number of MSI/MSI-X interrupts required.
The simplest case would be requesting all available interrupts -
to obtain that value device drivers will use pci_get_msi_cap()
interface for MSI and pci_msix_table_size() for MSI-X.
More complex cases would entail matching device capabilities
with the system environment, i.e. limiting number of hardware
queues (and hence associated MSI/MSI-X interrupts) to the number
of online CPUs.
