This series tends to improve the PTT's filter interface in 2 aspects (Patch 2&3):
- Support dynamically filter updating to response to hotplug
Previous the supported filter list is settled down once the driver probed and
it maybe out-of-date if hotplug events happen later. User need to reload the
driver to update list. Patch 1/2 enable the driver to update the list by
registering a PCI bus notifier and the filter list will always be the latest.
- Export the available filters through sysfs
Previous user needs to calculate the filters and filter value using device's
BDF number, which requires the user to know the hardware well. Patch 3/3 tends
to export the available filter information through sysfs attributes, the filter
value will be gotten by reading the file. This will be more user friendly.

In order to support above function, this series also includes a patch 1/4 to factor
out the allocation and release function of PTT filters.

Also includes an improvement and a fixs. Patch 4 tends to set proper PMU capability
to avoid collecting unnecessary data to save the storage. Patch 5 fix an improper
use of pci_irq_vector() which have potential problem.

Change since v3:
- Addressed the comment from Jonathan. Add tags for Patch 1 and 4. Thanks.
- Add one bugfix in Patch 5/5
