Subject: [patch 00/10] genirq/msi: Treewide cleanup of pointless linux/msi.h includes

While working on per device MSI domains I noticed that quite some files
include linux/msi.h just because.

The top level comment in the header file clearly says:

  Regular device drivers have no business with any of these functions....

and actually none of the drivers needs anything from msi.h.

The series is not depending on anything so the individual patches can be
picked up by the relevant maintainers. I'll mop up the leftovers close to
the merge window.

Thanks,
