I'm OK with that, but ...

... then x86 has to implement arch_msi_check_device in order to _not_
perform the check, which feels a bit bass-ackwards to me.

For MSI-X, nvec will be = 1.  Maybe I should call it something else to
avoid confusion.  The code won't work for me as-was because it won't
call arch_teardown_msi_irq() for all entries.

Ah, I changed the bahviour (to match msix) and forgot to update the
comment.  Thanks, I'll fix that.  By the way I have an updated version
of MSI-HOWTO available from http://www.parisc-linux.org/~willy/MSI-HOWTO.txt

True ... I should do those in separate patches.

There's inconsistency between the various implementations too.  I got
confused with where I was.

Not quite sure why.  You don't get any better typechecking by making it
a static inline.
