btw following our discussion I think the commit message should then
also explicitly state that pcim_intx() is supposed to restore the value
before the function itself had been called by that driver for the very
first time.

Oh man. Have those folks never heard of comments :(

The moment *before* it was called *for the first time*.

There is only a very tiny number of pci{m}_intx() users, they mostly
use it in their probe() function, and future use is discouraged in
favor of pci_alloc_irq_vectors().
