[PATCH] Add IPIC MSI interrupt support

[Li Li]

Yes. According to the PCI spec, a PCI device can request multi MSI
interrupts and require that interrupts are consecutive.
But it is ok if only allocate one to it.
Anyway, the hwirq should be allocated from bitmap instead of increment
by hand.

I will correct this and resend the patch.
