We can add the case when pci_enable_msix() returns greater than zero so we 
can enable a certain number of vectors.  The current msi-x patch already 
checked for number of requests msi vectors based on CPU cores or HCSPARAMS1 
of msi-x capability.

The xhci_free_irq calls free_irq for valid requested msi-x vectors only.  
The msi-x entries store the valid vectors in the array and we check the msi-x 
vectors before calling free_irq.
