I mistakenly assumed this would have to wait because I thought there were
other pci_enable_msi_block() users that wouldn't be removed until the v3.16
merge window.  But I think I was wrong: I put your GenWQE patch in my tree,
and I think that was the last use, so I can just add this patch on top.

But I need a little help understanding the changelog:

I understand this part; the following two paths call
arch_msi_check_device() once and then arch_setup_msi_irqs() once:

  pci_enable_msi_block
    pci_msi_check_device
      arch_msi_check_device
    msi_capability_init
      arch_setup_msi_irqs

  pci_enable_msix
    pci_msi_check_device
      arch_msi_check_device
    msix_capability_init
      arch_setup_msi_irqs

I don't know what you mean by "a third state."

Previously we only called arch_msi_check_device() once.  After your patch,
pci_enable_msi_range() can call it several times.  The only non-trivial
implementation of arch_msi_check_device() is in powerpc, and all the
ppc_md.msi_check_device() possibilities look safe to call multiple times.

After your patch, the pci_enable_msi_range() path can also call
arch_setup_msi_irqs() several times.  I don't see a problem with that --
even if the first call succeeds and allocates something, then a subsequent
call fails, I assume the allocations will be cleaned up when
msi_capability_init() calls free_msi_irqs().

I guess you mean that your patch assumes arch_msi_check_device() is
stateless.  That looks like a safe assumption to me.

arch_setup_msi_irqs() is clearly not stateless, but I assume
free_msi_irqs() is enough to clean up any state if we fail.
