Thanks for reviewing it!

This patch is just to make the extern declarations match the stubs.

No particular reason not to change users other than I didn't want to
change the users before the declarations (to avoid warnings about
assigning an int to a u8 or u16), and there's not a lot of value in
changing local variables, where an int is just on the stack and works
fine.

Changing stored values in a struct would have more benefit.  I took a
quick look and found these possibilities:

  struct controller.cap_offset (drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp.h SHPC cap)
  struct pci_sriov.pos (drivers/pci/pci.h SR-IOV ext cap)
  struct altera_pcie_data.cap_offset (drivers/pci/controller/pcie-altera.c PCIe cap)

  struct tg3.msi_cap (broadcom/tg3.h MSI cap)
  struct tg3.pcix_cap (broadcom/tg3.h PCI-X cap)
  struct bnx2.pm_cap (broadcom/bnx2.h PM cap)
  struct bnx2.pcix_cap (broadcom/bnx2.h PCI-X cap)
  struct bnx2x_sriov.cap (broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_sriov.h SR-IOV ext cap)
  struct amd8111e_priv.pm_cap (amd/amd8111e.c, removed [1])
  struct pci_params.pm_cap (qlogic/qed/qed.h, removed [2])
  struct qed_hw_sriov_info.cap (qlogic/qed/qed_sriov.h SR-IOV ext cap)
  struct eeh_dev.pcix_cap (powerpc/include/asm/eeh.h PCI-X cap)
  struct eeh_dev.pcie_cap (powerpc/include/asm/eeh.h PCIe cap)
  struct eeh_dev.aer_cap (powerpc/include/asm/eeh.h AER ext cap)
  struct eeh_dev.af_cap (powerpc/include/asm/eeh.h AF cap)
  struct icm.vnd_cap (drivers/thunderbolt/icm.c VNDR ext cap)
