Hi Stuart, it's not just cleanup, because "[RFC PATCH 08/11] PCI/MSI: Introduce new struct msi_irqs and struct msi_ops"
introduced struct msi_irqs, so the code will change to
if (!dev->msi_irqs->msi_enabled)

I think driver should not need to know the details of MSI members.
So I try to rework the pci_dev_msi_enabled() to hide the detailed MSI info.


Thanks!
