Can't you create a helper that returns the currently enabled interrupt
mode?

I expect returning an enum (ie: NONE, INTX, MSI, MSIX) should be fine
since no two of those should be enabled at the same time.

Nit: just one space between the declaration and the comment IMO.

Also capability ID is not a signed value, hence unsigned int would
feel more natural.

I think it would be more helpful to store the current capability ID
rather the one you need to check against. Then if you had a helper
that returns the currently enabled interrupt mode you would have to
check that either it's NONE or matches the capability requested to be
enabled.

const for both the above.

I think you should check whether the other capability exists. I guess
msi{x}_cap will be 0 if not present?

Doesn't Linux have a plain BUG();?

Shouldn't this return PCI-style errors?

I think PCIBIOS_SET_FAILED would be more appropriate here. Note sure
whether you should terminate the function here in that case, or else
the error is lost and not returned to the caller, yet the function
failed at least partially.

This should be ratelimited since it's guest triggerable.

Why do you need to do this here? I don't see any other options being
cleared here (I would expect for example permissive to also be
cleared if required).

This is mostly a clone of permissive_{store/show}, I wonder if those
functions could be generalized since it's just repeated boilerplate
code in order to fetch allow_interrupt_control or permissive. Anyway,
likely not part of this patch.

Thanks, Roger.
