Hi Thomas,
There is a bit of the original code that is carried forwards here
that superficially seemed overly complex. However as far as I can tell
this is functionally the same as you intended. So with that in mind
if my question isn't complete garbage, maybe a readability issue for
another day.

It's not immediately obvious what this is undoing (i.e. where the alloc
is). I think it is at least mostly the pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs in
__msix_setup_interrupts
Why not handle the error in __msix_setup_interrupts and make that function
side effect free. Does require gotos but in a function that isn't
doing any cleanup magic so should be fine.
Mind you I'm not following the logic in msix_setup_interrupts()
before this series either. i.e. why doesn't msix_setup_msi_descs()
clean up after itself on failure (i.e. undo loop iterations that
weren't failures) as that at least superficially looks like it
would give more readable code.
So this is the same as current and as such the patch is fine I think.
