In this patchset we want to enable the MANA driver to be able to
allocate MSI-X vectors in PCI dynamically.

The first patch exports pci_msix_prepare_desc() in PCI to be able to
correctly prepare descriptors for dynamically added MSI-X vectors.

The second patch adds the support of dynamic vector allocation in
pci-hyperv PCI controller by enabling the MSI_FLAG_PCI_MSIX_ALLOC_DYN
flag and using the pci_msix_prepare_desc() exported in first patch.

The third patch adds a detailed description of the irq_setup(), to
help understand the function design better.

The fourth patch is a preparation patch for mana changes to support
dynamic IRQ allocation. It contains changes in irq_setup() to allow
skipping first sibling CPU sets, in case certain IRQs are already
affinitized to them.

The fifth patch has the changes in MANA driver to be able to allocate
MSI-X vectors dynamically. If the support does not exist it defaults to
older behavior.

Hi Shradha,

It's unclear what the target tree for this patch-set is.
But if it is net-next, which seems likely given the code under
drivers/net/, then:

Please include that target in the subject of each patch in the patch-set.

	Subject: [PATCH v5 net-next 0/5] ...

And, moreover, ...

## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v6.16 has begun and therefore net-next is closed
for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations. We are
currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after June 8th.

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.

Thank you Simon.

While posting this patchset I was a bit confused about what should be
the target tree. That's why in the cover letter of the V1 for this
series, I had requested more clarity on the same (since there are patches
from PCI and net-next both).

In such cases how do we decide which tree to target?

Yes, that isn't entirely clear to me either.
Hopefully the maintainers can negotiate this.

Also, noted about the next merge window for net-next :-)

Regards,
Shradha.
