The IRQF_DISABLED is a NOOP and scheduled to be removed. According to Ingo
Molnar in commit e58aa3d2d0 (genirq: Run irq
handlers with interrupts disabled), running IRQ handlers with interrupts
enabled can cause stack overflows when the interrupt line of the issuing
device is still active.
This patch removes IRQF_DISABLED from this documentation. It was
mentioned to be a solution to avoid deadlocks when a device uses
multiple interrupts. As the flag is a NOOP this solution does not work
anymore.

To keep the Documentation consistent either
"practise" or "practice" should be used.
Since there are 3 lines with "practise"
~/linux/Documentation$ grep -r practise * | wc -l
3
and 108 lines with "practice"
~/linux/Documentation$ grep -r practice * | wc -l
108
this patch converts "practise" to "practice".

The new functions are special cases for pci_enable_msi_range() and
pci_enable_msix_range() when a particular number of MSI or MSI-X
is needed.
By contrast with pci_enable_msi_range() and pci_enable_msix_range()
functions, pci_enable_msi_exact() and pci_enable_msix_exact()
return zero in case of success, which indicates MSI or MSI-X
interrupts have been successfully allocated.

We deprecated pci_enable_msi() in 302a2523c2 ("PCI/MSI: Add
pci_enable_msi_range() and pci_enable_msix_range()").
But we changed our minds after noticing that:
- pci_enable_msi() doesn't have confusing return values like
pci_enable_msi_block() and pci_enable_msix() did, and
- pci_enable_msi() has a hundred or so callers that we don't want to
change.
This adds back the pci_enable_msi() documentation.

This adds pci_enable_msi_range(), which supersedes the pci_enable_msi()
and pci_enable_msi_block() MSI interfaces.
It also adds pci_enable_msix_range(), which supersedes the
pci_enable_msix() MSI-X interface.
The old interfaces have three categories of return values:
negative: failure; caller should not retry
positive: failure; value indicates number of interrupts that *could*
have been allocated, and caller may retry with a smaller request
zero: success; at least as many interrupts allocated as requested
It is error-prone to handle these three cases correctly in drivers.
The new functions return either a negative error code or a number of
successfully allocated MSI/MSI-X interrupts, which is expected to lead to
clearer device driver code.
pci_enable_msi(), pci_enable_msi_block() and pci_enable_msix() still exist
unchanged, but are deprecated and may be removed after callers are updated.

This creates an MSI-X counterpart for pci_msi_vec_count(). Device drivers
can use this function to obtain maximum number of MSI-X interrupts the
device supports and use that number in a subsequent call to
pci_enable_msix().
pci_msix_vec_count() supersedes pci_msix_table_size() and returns a
negative errno if device does not support MSI-X interrupts. After this
update, callers must always check the returned value.
The only user of pci_msix_table_size() was the PCI-Express port driver,
which is also updated by this change.

The new pci_msi_vec_count() interface makes pci_enable_msi_block_auto()
superfluous.
Drivers can use pci_msi_vec_count() to learn the maximum number of MSIs
supported by the device, and then call pci_enable_msi_block().
pci_enable_msi_block_auto() was introduced recently, and its only user is
the AHCI driver, which is also updated by this change.

The new function pci_enable_msi_block_auto() tries to allocate
maximum possible number of MSIs up to the number the device
supports. It generalizes a pattern when pci_enable_msi_block()
is contiguously called until it succeeds or fails.
Opposite to pci_enable_msi_block() which takes the number of
MSIs to allocate as a input parameter,
pci_enable_msi_block_auto() could be used by device drivers to
obtain the number of assigned MSIs and the number of MSIs the
device supports.
