I have two questions about this:

  1) There's no other use of __force in drivers/pci, so I don't know
  what's special about pcie-mediatek.c.  There should be a way to fix
  the types so it's not needed.

  2) virt_to_phys() is not quite right to begin with because what we
  want is a *bus* address, not the CPU physical address we get from
  virt_to_phys().  Obviously the current platforms that use this must
  not apply any offset between bus and CPU physical addresses, but
  it's not something we should rely on.

  There are only three drivers (pci-aardvark.c, pcie-xilinx.c, and
  this one) that use virt_to_phys(), and they're all slightly wrong
  here.

The *_compose_msi_msg() methods could use a little more consistency
across the board.
