PCI/MSI: Enable multiple MSIs with pci_enable_msi_block_auto()

The new function pci_enable_msi_block_auto() tries to allocate
maximum possible number of MSIs up to the number the device
supports. It generalizes a pattern when pci_enable_msi_block()
is contiguously called until it succeeds or fails.

Opposite to pci_enable_msi_block() which takes the number of
MSIs to allocate as a input parameter,
pci_enable_msi_block_auto() could be used by device drivers to
obtain the number of assigned MSIs and the number of MSIs the
device supports.

+This variation on pci_enable_msi() call allows a device driver to request
+the maximum possible number of MSIs.  The MSI specification only allows
+interrupts to be allocated in powers of two, up to a maximum of 2^5 (32).
+
+If this function returns a positive number, it indicates that it has
+succeeded and the returned value is the number of allocated interrupts. In
+this case, the function enables MSI on this device and updates dev->irq to
+be the lowest of the new interrupts assigned to it.  The other interrupts
+assigned to the device are in the range dev->irq to dev->irq + returned
+value - 1.
+
+If this function returns a negative number, it indicates an error and
+the driver should not attempt to request any more MSI interrupts for
+this device.
+
+If the device driver needs to know the number of interrupts the device
+supports it can pass the pointer count where that number is stored. The
+device driver must decide what action to take if pci_enable_msi_block_auto()
+succeeds, but returns a value less than the number of interrupts supported.
+If the device driver does not need to know the number of interrupts
+supported, it can set the pointer count to NULL.

 This function should be used to undo the effect of pci_enable_msi() or
-pci_enable_msi_block().  Calling it restores dev->irq to the pin-based
-interrupt number and frees the previously allocated message signaled
-interrupt(s).  The interrupt may subsequently be assigned to another

 Before calling this function, a device driver must always call free_irq()
 on any interrupt for which it previously called request_irq().
