Can you elaborate why boolean type is selected instead of returning the
actual error codes? the outmost callers are all new functions:

	pci_setup_msi[x]_device_domain()
	pci_create_ims_domain()

I didn't find out any legacy convention forcing this way...

patch04 marks that hwsize being 0 means unknown or unlimited in the
header file.

but here info.hwsize always gets a value i.e. the meaning of 0 only exists
in this function. What about removing the trailing words about 0 in
patch04?

- + * @hwsize:		The hardware table size (0 if unknown/unlimited)
+ + * @hwsize:		The hardware table size
