Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the heads-up and manual merge. I've reviewed the changes to
the MSI API that got us into this conflict and I disagree with them.
I've posted a series to revert a selection of changes currently coming
in through pci/next that should make for a clean merge should Bjorn come
to the same conclusion. If you need to re-apply the fix in the
meantime, please do include <linux/irq.h> since it generated a build
failure on arm without it. Thanks!

Alex
