You're right. Changed to void.

Hm, wasn't quite my intent. Here's the replacement:

entry->mask_pos = msi_mask_bits_reg(pos, entry->msi_attrib.is_64);
/* All MSIs are unmasked by default, Mask them all */
if (entry->msi_attrib.maskbit)
pci_read_config_dword(dev, entry->mask_pos, &entry->masked);
mask = msi_capable_mask(control);
msi_mask_irq(entry, mask, mask);

So mask_pos still points somewhere bogus, but all uses of it are now guarded by msi_attrib.maskbit, which is OK.

Yeah, we've got away with that until now. I just checked PCIe 2.1
(out today), and, er, it seems we can't rely on that any longer.
Something about a "TPH Requester Capability" and a "Steering Tag".
I'm looking forward to learning more about those in the next few months.

Yeah, I deleted it on purpose.


Thanks for the review!
