Not quite. For the currentl logic we need 3 calls to
pci_alloc_irq_vectors, and I have a patch to implement that. From
looking at the changelogs and intentions I think we can consolidate
that down to two calls (per-port vectors and single vectors) and I
will propose that as an RFC on top of the base which, which already
is a huge simplification of the driver.

It probably should be pci_intx_for_msi. For now I'm not touching
drivers that need the quirk, so how about getting the intx in
now so that the conversion can start, and I'll send a follow on
to convert to pci_intx_for_msi with Cc to all the relevant parties
for the quirk as a follow on?
