Hi,
First of all, it seems that mask/unmask of MSI has problems.
- Per-vector masking is optional for MSI, so I think that allocating
multiple messages for a function without masking capability would be
not good idea, since all vector in the block will be masked/unmasked
at once without any agreement.
- Even if the function supports per-vector masking, current
mask/unmask_msi_irq() functions assume that MSI uses only one vector,
therefore they only set/unset the first bit of the maskbits which
for the first vector of the block. The bits for other vectors are
initialized as 'masked' but no one unmask them.

I think we should return -EINVAL here.
No one guarantee that 32 interrupts is able to be allocate at this time.
And also I think -EINVAL should be returned if nvec is greater than
the number of encoded in the function's "Multiple Message Capable", but
I could not find any mention about handling of such over-capability request
in PCI Bus Spec. 3.0.
