The MSI message API has gone through some churn, that I think results
in an inconsistent interface.  We now have this:

void read_msi_msg(struct msi_desc *entry, struct msi_msg *msg);
void get_cached_msi_msg(struct msi_desc *entry, struct msi_msg *msg);
void __write_msi_msg(struct msi_desc *entry, struct msi_msg *msg);
void write_msi_msg(unsigned int irq, struct msi_msg *msg);

write_msi_msg() takes an irq arg, but read_msi_msg() takes an
msi_desc.  Presumably write_msi_msg() was not converted because it
has a much larger user base, but this sort of inconsitency results
in a poor API.

This series reverts a selection of commits to return us to:

void __read_msi_msg(struct msi_desc *entry, struct msi_msg *msg);
void __get_cached_msi_msg(struct msi_desc *entry, struct msi_msg *msg);
void __write_msi_msg(struct msi_desc *entry, struct msi_msg *msg);
void get_cached_msi_msg(unsigned int irq, struct msi_msg *msg);
void write_msi_msg(unsigned int irq, struct msi_msg *msg);

I've left the removal of read_msi_msg() since it has no users, but
restored get_cached_msi_msg() since it has an imminent user.  This
will also cleanup the upcoming merge conflicts in next.  Thanks,

Alex
