Sorry, this is my first part to refactor MSI related code, now
how to get pci msi_controller depends arch functions(pcibios_msi_controller() or
arch_setup_msi_irq()), we are working on generic pci_host_bridge, after that,
we could eventually eliminate MSI arch functions and find pci dev 's msi controller
by pci_host_bridge->get_msi_controller().

Marc, could you tell me what pci host driver in your test platform ?

Bjorn, could you help to revert this patch ?
