One curiosity - with the above factored out, is
pci_enable_msi_block_part() returning positive number still necessary?
I followed most of code paths in x86 and nothing seems to need it and
positive return seems to be just causing confusion - ie. returning 1
on multiple msi config failure from some functions, which is silly.

Thanks.
