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.
---
 Change in v4
 * add a patch describing the functionality of irq_setup() through a
   comment
 * In irq_setup(), avoid using a label next_cpumask:
 * modify the changes in MANA patch about restructuring the error
   handling path in mana_gd_setup_dyn_irqs()
 * modify the mana_gd_setup_irqs() to simplify handling around
   start_irq_index
 * add warning if an invalid gic is returned
 * place the xa_destroy() cleanup in mana_gd_remove
---
 Changes in v3
 * split the 3rd patch into preparation patch around irq_setup() and
   changes in mana driver to allow dynamic IRQ allocation
 * Add arm64 support for dynamic MSI-X allocation in pci_hyperv
   controller
---
 Changes in v2
 * split the first patch into two(exporting the preapre_desc
   func and using the function and flag in pci-hyperv)
 * replace 'pci vectors' by 'MSI-X vectors'
 * Change the cover letter description to align with changes made
---

In this patchset, base-commit seems missing.

Please see this link:

When you open ``outgoing/0000-cover-letter.patch`` for editing, you will
notice that it will have the ``base-commit:`` trailer at the very
bottom, which provides the reviewer and the CI tools enough information
to properly perform ``git am`` without worrying about conflicts::
"

When creating patches:
"
git format-patch --base=main origin/main
"

This will include a base-commit: line in each patch file:

"
base-commit: abcdef1234567890...
"

This is useful when submitting patches to mailing lists or other tooling.

Please follow the submitting-patches.rst to add base-commit.

Thank you, I will make the necessary changes in the next version.

Shradha.
