Can you elaborate why boolean type is selected instead of returning the
actual error codes? the outmost callers are all new functions:
pci_setup_msi[x]_device_domain()
pci_create_ims_domain()
I didn't find out any legacy convention forcing this way...

patch04 marks that hwsize being 0 means unknown or unlimited in the
header file.
but here info.hwsize always gets a value i.e. the meaning of 0 only exists
in this function. What about removing the trailing words about 0 in
patch04?
- + * @hwsize: The hardware table size (0 if unknown/unlimited)
+ + * @hwsize: The hardware table size
