Thanks, Christophe and Dan!

Good catch. This fixes recent code, so a separate patch would be good.

Right. And we would need to check 'capabilities & VMCI_CAPS_NOTIFICATIONS',
'caps_in_use & VMCI_CAPS_NOTIFICATIONS' and then
'vmci_dev->notification_bitmap' if we go that route. I think we can leave it as is.

Sorry, I hope I'm not missing something obvious or misunderstanding the point.
But I don't think the problem implied here exists?
If 'request_irq(pci_irq_vector(pdev, 0), ...' fails we goto err_disable_msi and there
is no free_irq in this path. If 'request_irq(pci_irq_vector(pdev, 1), ...' fails then we
goto err_free_irq and we do 'free_irq(pci_irq_vector(pdev, 0), vmci_dev)'. Note that
this is for the previous one without the check for vmci_dev->exclusive_vectors.
