Subject: [PATCH] PCI: MSI: Remove unsafe and unnecessary hardware access

During suspend on an SMP system, {read,write}_msi_msg_desc() may be
called to mask and unmask interrupts on a device that is already in a
reduced power state.  At this point memory-mapped registers including
MSI-X tables are not accessible, and config space may not be fully
functional either.

While a device is in a reduced power state its interrupts are
effectively masked and its MSI(-X) state will be restored when it is
brought back to D0.  Therefore these functions can simply read and
write msi_desc::msg for devices not in D0.

Further, read_msi_msg_desc() should only ever be used to update a
previously written message, so it can always read msi_desc::msg
and never needs to touch the hardware.

That's not quite what I see.  What I see is that the message is read
back from the table *after* the driver's suspend method has been called.
At this point the device is already in D3 and memory-mapped registers
are not accessible, so we get random bits as the message.  At least,
that's what I see happening with the sfc driver.

This is my attempt, which works for sfc.  See if it works for bnx2.

Ben.
