This conflicts with (and partially duplicates)
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/381892/
which I have in my tree. How should we handle it?
Laurentiu, from looking at the overlap between patches I see a problem
with your existing patch, regarding the out-of-irqs path and
msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs(), so one way or another that needs to get fixed
soon.
