Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] Documentation: ABI: sysfs-bus-pci: Add description for IRQ entry

From: Barry Song <song.bao.hua@...ilicon.com>

/sys/bus/pci/devices/.../irq has been there for many years but it
has never been documented. This patch is trying to document it as
what it is really implemented in the kernel code.

+Description:
+		If a driver has enabled MSI (not MSI-X), "irq" contains the IRQ
+		of the first MSI vector. Otherwise "irq" contains the IRQ of
+		the legacy INTx interrupt.
+		"irq" being set to 0 indicates that the device isn't capable of
