While multi-MSI appears to work with pci-hyperv.c, there was a concern about
how linux was doing the ITRE allocations.  Patch 2 addresses the concern.

However, patch 2 exposed an issue with how compose_msi_msg() was freeing a
previous allocation when called for the Nth time.  Imagine a driver using
pci_alloc_irq_vectors() to request 32 MSIs.  This would cause compose_msi_msg()
to be called 32 times, once for each MSI.  With patch 2, MSI0 would allocate
the ITREs needed, and MSI1-31 would use the cached information.  Then the driver
uses request_irq() on MSI1-17.  This would call compose_msi_msg() again on those
MSIs, which would again use the cached information.  Then unmask() would be
called to retarget the MSIs to the right VCPU vectors.  Finally, the driver
calls request_irq() on MSI0.  This would call conpose_msi_msg(), which would
free the block of 32 MSIs, and allocate a new block.  This would undo the
retarget of MSI1-17, and likely leave those MSIs targeting invalid VCPU vectors.
This is addressed by patch 1, which is introduced first to prevent a regression.

Applied to hyperv-next. Thanks.
Huh?  I thought you wanted a V2.  I was intending on sending that out today.
Please send them out. I will apply the new version.
Sure, sending shortly.
