On upcoming hardware, we have a PCI adapter with two functions, one of
which uses MSI and the other uses MSI-X. This adapter, when MSI is
disabled using the "old" firmware interface (RTAS_CHANGE_FN), still
signals an MSI-X interrupt and triggers an EEH. We are working with the
vendor to ensure that the hardware is not at fault, but if we use the
"new" interface (RTAS_CHANGE_MSI_FN) to disable MSI, we also
automatically disable MSI-X and the adapter does not appear to signal
any stray MSI-X interrupt.

Sorry, I fudged my git-send-email config, apologies that the Cc's above
weren't actually used in the original!

This is effectively a PCI quirk, but I'm not sure how to do a
architecture-specific quirk (looking through the code now). If anyone
has any pointers, I'd appreciate it!
If this would be preferred, I think I see now how it would be done and
can work on a different patch that only makes this change for this
device.

Thanks,
Nish
