Subject: [PATCH v5 0/4] Introduce pci_enable_msi/msix_range() interfaces

This series is against "next" branch in Bjorn's repo:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git

Changes from v4 to v5:
  - pci_auto_enable_msi* functions renamed to pci_enable_msi* ones;
  - pci_enable_msi_range() and pci_enable_msix_range() are the only
    basic interfaces left to enable MSI/MSI-X operation;
  - pci_enable_msi(), pci_enable_msi_block() and pci_enable_msix() old
    interfaces deprecated in favour of pci_enable_msi/msix_range() ones;
    description of the old interfaces is removed from the documentation;
  - pci_get_msi_vec_count()  renamed to pci_msi_vec_count() and
    pci_get_msix_vec_count() renamed to pci_msix_vec_count();

Changes from v3 to v4:
  - pcim_enable_msi* functions renamed to pci_auto_enable_msi* ones;
  - PowerPC patches dropped;
  - pci_get_msi_cap()     renamed to pci_get_msi_vec_count() and
    pci_msix_table_size() renamed to pci_get_msix_vec_count();

Changes from v2 to v3:
  - new public interfaces commented in drivers/pci/msi.c;
  - patch "Make quota traversing and requesting race-safe" explained;
  - pci_enable_msi/msix() 'nvec' arg type changed from 'unsigned int' to 'int';
  - pcim_enable_msi*() arg 'nvec' renamed to 'maxvec' when upper limit passed;
  - pcim_enable_msi*(..., maxvec, minvec) arg order swapped to minvec, maxvec;
  - "PCI: Fail MSI/MSI-X initialization if device is not in PCI_D0" commit
    869a161 and "PCI/MSI: Factor out pci_get_msi_cap() interface" patch
    conflicts resolved;

This update introduces pci_enable_msi_range() function which
supersedes pci_enable_msi() and pci_enable_msi_block()
interfaces for MSI and pci_enable_msi_range() function which
supersedes pci_enable_msix() interface for MSI-X interrupts.

The plan is to convert all drivers to the new interfaces and
then remove existing pci_enable_msi(), pci_enable_msi_block()
and pci_enable_msix() functions.

The newly introduced functions return either a negative error
code or a number of successfully allocated MSI/MSI-X interrupts.

Unlike the old interfaces where the "third" state indicates
a possible number of MSI interrupts that could have been
allocated, the new interfaces allow device drivers not to deal
with tri-state return values and hide fallback logic behind
the implementation.

As result, device drivers are expected to have more clearer
and straight code.

The tree could be found in "pci-next-msi-v5" branch in repo:
