This patch introduces an optional function, arch_setup_msi_irqs(),
(note the plural) which gives an arch the opportunity to do per-device
setup for MSI/X and then allocate all the requested MSI/Xs at once.
If that's not required by the arch, the default version simply calls
arch_setup_msi_irq() for each MSI irq required.
arch_setup_msi_irqs() is passed a pdev, attached to the pdev is a list
of msi_descs with irq == 0, it is up to the arch to connect these up to
an irq (via set_irq_msi()) or return an error. For convenience the number
of vectors and the type are passed also.
All msi_descs with irq != 0 are considered allocated, and the arch
teardown routine will be called on them when necessary.
The existing semantics of pci_enable_msix() are that if the requested
number of irqs can not be allocated, the maximum number that _could_ be
allocated is returned. To support that, we define that in case of an
error from arch_setup_msi_irqs(), the number of msi_descs with irq != 0
are considered allocated, and are counted toward the "max that could be
allocated".

set_irq_msi() currently connects an irq_desc to an msi_desc. The archs call
it at some point in their setup routine, and then the generic code sets up the
reverse mapping from the msi_desc back to the irq.
set_irq_msi() should do both connections, making it the one and only call
required to connect an irq with it's MSI desc and vice versa.
The arch code MUST call set_irq_msi(), and it must do so only once it's sure
it's not going to fail the irq allocation.
Given that there's no need for the arch to return the irq anymore, the return
value from the arch setup routine just becomes 0 for success and anything else
for failure.

Currently, there is no minimum number of fields required when adding
a new device ID to a PCI driver through the new_id sysfs file. It is
possible to add a new ID with only the vendor ID set, causing the
driver to attempt to attach to all PCI devices from that vendor. This
has been reported to happen accidentally:
http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2007-March/019366.html
It is even possible to not even set the vendor ID field, causing the
driver to attempt to attach to _all_ the PCI devices.
This sounds dangerous and I fail to see any valid use of this
"feature". Thus I suggest that we now require at least the first two
fields (vendor ID and device ID) to be set. For what it's worth, this
is what the USB subsystem does.

At one time, if a BIOS ROM shadow was detected for the boot video
device (stored at offset 0xc0000), we'd set a special resource flag,
IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW, so that the sysfs ROM file code could handle
it properly. That broke along the way somewhere though, so current
kernels will be missing 'rom' files in sysfs if the video device
doesn't have an explicit ROM BAR.
This patch fixes the regression by moving the video fixup quirk to a
little later in the boot cycle (to avoid having its work undone by
PCI resource allocation) and checking in the PCI sysfs code whether
a rom file should be created due to a shadow resource, which is also
moved to a little later in the boot cycle so it will occur after the
video fixup. Tested and works on my i386 test box.

Adds a new API which can be used to issue various types
of PCI-E reset, including PCI-E warm reset and PCI-E hot reset.
This is needed for an ipr PCI-E adapter which does not properly
implement BIST. Running BIST on this adapter results in PCI-E
errors. The only reliable reset mechanism that exists on this
hardware is PCI Fundamental reset (warm reset). Since driving
this type of reset is architecture unique, this provides the
necessary hooks for architectures to add this support.

This patch fixes a kernel bug which is triggered when using the
irqbalance daemon with MSI-X hardware.
Because both MSI-X interrupt messages and MSI-X table writes are posted,
it's possible for them to cross while in-flight. This results in
interrupts being received long after the kernel thinks they're disabled,
and in interrupts being sent to stale vectors after rebalancing.
This patch performs a read flush after writes to the MSI-X table for
mask and unmask operations. Since the SMP affinity is set while
the interrupt is masked, and since it's unmasked immediately after,
no additional flushes are required in the various affinity setting
routines.
This patch has been validated with (unreleased) network hardware which
uses MSI-X.
