Thanks a lot for all your work on this.  This was a confusing issue
with code to match.  I tried to simplify the changelog as below;
please correct anything I messed up.

A few hopefully last questions:

  - Your subject suggested that this was a bug for both MSI and MSI-X,
    but I think it only affected MSI, because the spec says MSI-X
    Interrupt Message Numbers must remain constant.  What do you
    think?

  - I think the problem was probably exposed by a1d5f18cafe6
    ("PCI/portdrv: Support multiple interrupts for MSI as well as
    MSI-X"), not 3674cc49da9a, because prior to a1d5f18cafe6, we only
    used a single MSI vector, and we didn't do the "allocate vectors,
    see which ones were used, reallocate only the required number of
    vectors" dance.
    
    It looks like we only allocated a single vector, so all the
    Interrupt Message Numbers should have been zero.  Or did you
    actually bisect it to 3674cc49da9a?

    PCI/portdrv: Fix MSI multiple interrupt setup
    
    When removing and adding back a PCIe Root Port device that uses MSI (not
    MSI-X), the port service driver IRQ request fails:
    
      pcie_pme: probe of 0000:00:00.0:pcie001 failed with error -22
      aer: probe of 0000:00:00.0:pcie002 failed with error -22
      pciehp 0000:00:00.0:pcie004: Slot #0 AttnBtn- PwrCtrl- MRL- AttnInd- PwrInd- HotPlug+ Surprise+ Interlock- NoCompl- LLActRep+
      pciehp 0000:00:00.0:pcie004: Cannot get irq 20 for the hotplug controller
      pciehp 0000:00:00.0:pcie004: Notification initialization failed (-1)
      dpc 0000:00:00.0:pcie010: request IRQ22 failed: -22
      dpc: probe of 0000:00:00.0:pcie010 failed with error -22
    
    The previous code basically did this:
    
      - Write MSI Multiple Message Enable to enable 32 vectors
      - Read Interrupt Message Numbers for PME & hotplug, AER, and DPC
      - Rewrite MSI Multiple Message Enable to enable only as many vectors as
        we think we need
      - Assume the Interrupt Message Numbers are still valid
    
    The problem is that when we change the Multiple Message Enable field to
    what we think is the minimal number of vectors required, the hardware may
    change which vectors it uses.  See the "Interrupt Message Number"
    discussion in PCIe r3.1, sec 7.8.2 (PME & hotplug), 7.10.10 (AER), 7.31.2
    (DPC).
    
    Read the Interrupt Message Numbers *after* we write the Multiple Message
    Enable field so we use the correct IRQ vectors.
    
    Note that we can't predict how hardware will select Interrupt Message
    Numbers, so even if we allocate as many vectors as there are interrupt
    sources, the hardware may still select Message Numbers that result in
    sharing a vector.  E.g., on HiSilicon hip08, if we have 3 sources
    (PME/hotplug, AER, DPC) and 4 MSI vectors, hardware selects Message
    Numbers 0 for PME/hotplug and 2 for AER and DPC.  That leaves vectors 1
    and 3 unused, while AER and DPC share vector 2.
    
    Even though MSI-X doesn't have the issue with Interrupt Message Numbers
    changing, this patch may result in more IRQ sharing because we no longer
    read those Message Numbers and use them to determine how many MSI-X vectors
    to request.
