PCI/MSI: Add "msi_bus" sysfs MSI/MSI-X control for endpoints
The "msi_bus" sysfs file for bridges sets a bus flag to allow or disallow future driver requests for MSI or MSI-X. Previously, the sysfs file existed for endpoints but did nothing. Add "msi_bus" support for endpoints, so an administrator can prevent the use of MSI and MSI-X for individual devices. Note that as for bridges, these changes only affect future driver requests for MSI or MSI-X, so drivers may need to be reloaded. Add documentation for the "msi_bus" sysfs file. [bhelgaas: changelog, comments, add "subordinate", add endpoint printk, rework bus_flags setting, make bus_flags printk unconditional] Signed-off-by: Yijing Wang <wangyijing@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>
