Eric W. Biederman 392ee1e6dd [PATCH] msi: Safer state caching.
There are two ways pci_save_state and pci_restore_state are used.  As
helper functions during suspend/resume, and as helper functions around
a hardware reset event.  When used as helper functions around a hardware
reset event there is no reason to believe the calls will be paired, nor
is there a good reason to believe that if we restore the msi state from
before the reset that it will match the current msi state.  Since arch
code may change the msi message without going through the driver, drivers
currently do not have enough information to even know when to call
pci_save_state to ensure they will have msi state in sync with the other
kernel irq reception data structures.

It turns out the solution is straight forward, cache the state in the
existing msi data structures (not the magic pci saved things) and
have the msi code update the cached state each time we write to the hardware.
This means we never need to read the hardware to figure out what the hardware
state should be.

By modifying the caching in this manner we get to remove our save_state
routines and only need to provide restore_state routines.

The only fields that were at all tricky to regenerate were the msi and msi-x
control registers and the way we regenerate them currently is a bit dependent
upon assumptions on how we use the allow msi registers to be configured and used
making the code a little bit brittle.  If we ever change what cases we allow
or how we configure the msi bits we can address the fragility then.

Eric W. Biederman f7feaca77d msi: Make MSI useable more architectures
The arch hooks arch_setup_msi_irq and arch_teardown_msi_irq are now
responsible for allocating and freeing the linux irq in addition to
setting up the the linux irq to work with the interrupt.

arch_setup_msi_irq now takes a pci_device and a msi_desc and returns
an irq.

With this change in place this code should be useable by all platforms
except those that won't let the OS touch the hardware like ppc RTAS.

Satoru Takeuchi c54c187907 PCI: cleanup MSI code
Cleanup MSI code as follows:

 - fix some types
 - fix strange local variable definition
 - delete unnecessary blank line
 - add comment to #endif which is far from corresponding #ifdef

Eric W. Biederman 3b7d1921f4 [PATCH] msi: refactor and move the msi irq_chip into the arch code
It turns out msi_ops was simply not enough to abstract the architecture
specific details of msi.  So I have moved the resposibility of constructing
the struct irq_chip to the architectures, and have two architecture specific
functions arch_setup_msi_irq, and arch_teardown_msi_irq.

For simple architectures those functions can do all of the work.  For
architectures with platform dependencies they can call into the appropriate
platform code.

With this msi.c is finally free of assuming you have an apic, and this
actually takes less code.

The helpers for the architecture specific code are declared in the linux/msi.h
to keep them separate from the msi functions used by drivers in linux/pci.h
