I agree we don't want to be giving back a larger value than requested.
There's only one place that can happen in theory and since firmware only
returns power of two values I dont think it will happen in practise.

Even so do we want to do something like this (as yet untested)? If the
rounded up request fails we retry with the original request.

The pseries msi free code just sets our vectors to 0 so it doesn't need
to know how many were originally allocated.

[PATCH] powerpc: pseries: Round up MSI-X requests

The pseries firmware currently refuses any non power of two MSI-X
request. Unfortunately most network drivers end up asking for that
because they want a power of two for RX queues and one or two extra
for everything else.

This patch rounds up the firmware request to the next power of two
if the quota allows it. If this fails we fall back to using the
original request size.
