As result of recent re-design of the MSI/MSI-X interrupts enabling
pattern this driver has to be updated to use the new technique to
obtain a optimal number of MSI/MSI-X interrupts required.

Making sure we don't request more vectors then the device's is capable
of -- looks good.

According to latest sources, pci_enable_msix() may still fail so why
do you want to remove this code?

pci_enable_msix() may fail, but it can not return a positive number.

We first calculate how many MSI-Xs we need, adjust to what we can get,
check if that is enough and only then go for it.

That is true according to the current logic but the comment on top of
pci_enable_msix() still says:
"A return of < 0 indicates a failure.  Or a return of > 0 indicates
that driver request is exceeding the number of irqs or MSI-X vectors
available"

So you're counting on an implementation that may change in the future.
I think leaving the code as it is now is safer.
