I found and fixed a couple of bugs ... and implemented CPU affinity.
As the comment says, when you move one MSI, you move them all (at least
as far as I can figure out the x86 APIC architecture ... other
architectures may not have this problem).  Git tree now available:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/willy/misc.git multiple-msi
(will be updated as and when)

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/willy/misc.git multiple-msi-20080705
(semi-permanent)

I don't intend to submit these patches to Linus myself; I'd like the
first two to go in through the PCI tree.  The third patch does depend on
the first two, but should go in through the IDE tree.  The fourth patch
is entirely independent of the first three and can go in through the x86
tree at any time.

I love these cross-responsibility patch sets ;-)
