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

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 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 do not deal
with tri-state return values and hide the fallback logic behind
the implementation.

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

+There could be devices that can not operate with just any number of MSI

+
+4.2.1.1 Maximum possible number of MSI interrupts
+
+The typical usage of MSI interrupts is to allocate as many vectors as
+possible, likely up to the limit returned by pci_msi_vec_count() function:
+
+static int foo_driver_enable_msi(struct pci_dev *pdev, int nvec)

+	return pci_enable_msi_range(pdev, 1, nvec);

+

+
+static int foo_driver_enable_msi(struct pci_dev *pdev, int nvec)
+{
+	return pci_enable_msi_range(pdev, FOO_DRIVER_MINIMUM_NVEC, nvec);
+}
+
+4.2.1.2 Exact number of MSI interrupts
+
+If a driver is unable or unwilling to deal with a variable number of MSI
+interrupts it could request a particular number of interrupts by passing
+that number to pci_enable_msi_range() function as both 'minvec' and 'maxvec'
+parameters:

+{
+	return pci_enable_msi_range(pdev, nvec, nvec);
+}
+
+4.2.1.3 Single MSI mode
+
+The most notorious example of the request type described above is
+enabling the single MSI mode for a device. It could be done by passing
+two 1s as 'minvec' and 'maxvec':
+
+static int foo_driver_enable_single_msi(struct pci_dev *pdev)
