Sorry, I'm confused and this does work.  But I wonder whether it is
really an improvement over using the old API.

Slightly, as far as I am concerned - we just exchange tri-state oddity to re-
enable MSI-X oddity. We're not going to improve drivers that can not work
with any number of MSI-Xs from a range, like this one.

I will send a patch which will make use of available MSI-X number and remove the retry logic.

Thanks,
Shahed
