Though I don't know if that is desired behaviour. That does look very odd, but ok... Then, couldn't we just set msi_vecs to msix_vecs after calling __pci_enable_msix_range() such that if __pci_enable_msi_range() doesn't get called we will return the same error without needing the messy second conditional?
