mainlining shenanigans
bf5e758f02
The sysfs handling for MSI is a convoluted maze and it is in the way of
supporting dynamic expansion of the MSI-X vectors because it only supports
a one off bulk population/free of the sysfs entries.
Change it to do:
1) Creating an empty sysfs attribute group when msi_device_data is
allocated
2) Populate the entries when the MSI descriptor is initialized
3) Free the entries when a MSI descriptor is detached from a Linux
interrupt.
4) Provide functions for the legacy non-irqdomain fallback code to
do a bulk population/free. This code won't support dynamic
expansion.
This makes the code simpler and reduces the number of allocations as the
empty attribute group can be shared.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
