I tested these two patches in combination with the earlier two on
5.18-rc6 in an ARM64 VM in Azure.   This was a smoke-test to ensure
everything compiled and that the changes aren't fundamentally broken
on ARM64.   The PCI device in this case is the Mellanox Virtual Function
offered to VMs in Azure, which is MSI-X.   As such, the new MSI "batch"
handling is not tested.
