Alexander Gordeev 51906e779f x86/MSI: Support multiple MSIs in presense of IRQ remapping
The MSI specification has several constraints in comparison with
MSI-X, most notable of them is the inability to configure MSIs
independently. As a result, it is impossible to dispatch
interrupts from different queues to different CPUs. This is
largely devalues the support of multiple MSIs in SMP systems.

Also, a necessity to allocate a contiguous block of vector
numbers for devices capable of multiple MSIs might cause a
considerable pressure on x86 interrupt vector allocator and
could lead to fragmentation of the interrupt vectors space.

This patch overcomes both drawbacks in presense of IRQ remapping
and lets devices take advantage of multiple queues and per-IRQ
affinity assignments.
