Sorry, I lost the original message somehow, so I can't reply to it. I
applied this by hand to my for-linus branch for v4.2, thanks!

PCI: Restore PCI_MSIX_FLAGS_BIRMASK definition
09a2c73ddfc7 ("PCI: Remove unused PCI_MSIX_FLAGS_BIRMASK definition")
removed PCI_MSIX_FLAGS_BIRMASK from an exported header because it was
unused in the kernel. But that breaks user programs that were using it
(QEMU in particular).
Restore the PCI_MSIX_FLAGS_BIRMASK definition.
