PCI/MSI: Add pci_enable_msi_range() and pci_enable_msix_range()
This adds pci_enable_msi_range(), which supersedes the pci_enable_msi() and pci_enable_msi_block() MSI interfaces. It also adds pci_enable_msix_range(), which supersedes the pci_enable_msix() MSI-X interface. The old interfaces have three categories of return values: negative: failure; caller should not retry positive: failure; value indicates number of interrupts that *could* have been allocated, and caller may retry with a smaller request zero: success; at least as many interrupts allocated as requested It is error-prone to handle these three cases correctly in drivers. The new functions return either a negative error code or a number of successfully allocated MSI/MSI-X interrupts, which is expected to lead to clearer device driver code. pci_enable_msi(), pci_enable_msi_block() and pci_enable_msix() still exist unchanged, but are deprecated and may be removed after callers are updated.
