[PATCH] msi: sanely support hardware level msi disabling
In some cases when we are not using msi we need a way to ensure that the
hardware does not have an msi capability enabled. Currently the code has been
calling disable_msi_mode to try and achieve that. However disable_msi_mode
has several other side effects and is only available when msi support is
compiled in so it isn't really appropriate.
Instead this patch implements pci_msi_off which disables all msi and msix
capabilities unconditionally with no additional side effects.
pci_disable_device was redundantly clearing the bus master enable flag and
clearing the msi enable bit. A device that is not allowed to perform bus
mastering operations cannot generate intx or msi interrupt messages as those
are essentially a special case of dma, and require bus mastering. So the call
in pci_disable_device to disable msi capabilities was redundant.
quirk_pcie_pxh also called disable_msi_mode and is updated to use pci_msi_off.
