Pls add quotes and add "Interrupt Pin:" to make it clear in which register.

and drop "maybe" here pls. I guess it sounds impolite to you but
as the patch author you get to make the tough decisions :)

Pls use !pin for brevity.

So, this is mostly ok. The only issue is this:


int vp_find_vqs(struct virtio_device *vdev, unsigned int nvqs,
                struct virtqueue *vqs[], vq_callback_t *callbacks[],
                const char * const names[], const bool *ctx,
                struct irq_affinity *desc)
{
        int err;

        /* Try MSI-X with one vector per queue. */
        err = vp_find_vqs_msix(vdev, nvqs, vqs, callbacks, names, true, ctx, desc);
        if (!err)
                return 0;
        /* Fallback: MSI-X with one vector for config, one shared for queues. */
        err = vp_find_vqs_msix(vdev, nvqs, vqs, callbacks, names, false, ctx, desc);
        if (!err)
                return 0;
        /* Finally fall back to regular interrupts. */
        return vp_find_vqs_intx(vdev, nvqs, vqs, callbacks, names, ctx);
}


So the real source of failure to use msix, will be overwritten in err by EINVAL.

How about moving the "if" to vp_find_vqs?
E.g.
	/* Is there an interrupt pin? If not give up. */
	if (!vdev->pci_dev->pin)
		return err;
