Yes, agree!

Correct! remove 'else' here make code more clear.

Do you mean to add 2 new vectors for MSI/MSIX in hc_driver?

It is reasonable. When I written the code, I thought it may need
different MSI/MSIX irq handlers later for different driver. :) 

Actually, There is 2 ways to implement this vectors for detail. 
a, let driver's self code to do request_irq() for each of vectors for
MSI/MSIX, and hc_driver just has a simple hook for them.
b, do detailed request_irq() work in usb-core(in hcd-pci.c). 

Consider all pci MSI/MSIX interface is similar, we may prefer the second
way to save some code. 

What's opinions for above 2 ways?
