Generally agreed.

Yes. We need an asm hook as some archs will return one single global ops
instance for any PCI devices, while others (like powerpc) need to be
able to return different ops depending on what bus a device hangs off.

It dates from when we were unsure where to put the msi_info (initially
in some ppc-specific pci_dn data structure iirc, until we had Greg's ok
about having it in pci_dev... Easier to just update the wrapper than fix
everybody using it :-)

Yeah well, CONFIG_PCI_MSI_NEW for now and CONFIG_PCI_MSI once
everything's been ported over the new infrastructure.
