I agree we don't want to be giving back a larger value than requested.
There's only one place that can happen in theory and since firmware only
returns power of two values I dont think it will happen in practise.

Even so do we want to do something like this (as yet untested)? If the
rounded up request fails we retry with the original request.

The pseries msi free code just sets our vectors to 0 so it doesn't need
to know how many were originally allocated.

[PATCH] powerpc: pseries: Round up MSI-X requests

The pseries firmware currently refuses any non power of two MSI-X
request. Unfortunately most network drivers end up asking for that
because they want a power of two for RX queues and one or two extra
for everything else.

This patch rounds up the firmware request to the next power of two
if the quota allows it. If this fails we fall back to using the
original request size.

I think whacking config space is more likely to break something than
just configuring more than the driver asked for.

Don't follow you here.

Yes we do. Had a chance to test it?

Yep, looks like it will cope.

We only create virqs for what's in pdev->msi_list, which will be what
the driver originally asked for, and we free all those by walking the
list again. So the fact that firmware allocated a few extra for us is
OK, we have nothing extra to cleanup.

cheers

How so ? I tend to disagree here..

The firmware interface is busted anyway. We want to be able to
enable/allocate individual MSI-X at runtime, we need to get a new
interface sorted.
