Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Enable multiple MSI feature in pSeries

Currently, multiple MSI feature hasn't been enabled in pSeries,
These patches try to enbale this feature.

These patches have been tested by using ipr driver, and the driver patch
has been made by Wen Xiong <wenxiong@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>:

[PATCH 0/7] Add support for new IBM SAS controllers

Test platform: One partition of pSeries with one cpu core(4 SMTs) and 
               RAID bus controller: IBM PCI-E IPR SAS Adapter (ASIC) in POWER7
OS version: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2  (ppc64) with 3.8-rc3 kernel 

IRQ 21 and 22 are assigned to the ipr device which support 2 mutiple MSI.

The test results is shown by 'cat /proc/interrups':
