But such a portation would require more detailed knowledge of the old drivers. In this discussion, Alex points out that at least in some drivers, you can't replace pci_intx() without further ado: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240904151020.486f599e.alex.williamson@xxxxxxxxxx/ What we could do is mark pci_intx() and pcim_intx() as deprecated and point everyone to pci_alloc_irq_vectors(). Then someone can look into porting the old drivers at some point in the future.
