In addition to the ("Save MSI chip in pci_sys_data") series, my
pci/msi branch contains these:

  f83386942702 s390/MSI: Use __msi_mask_irq() instead of default_msi_mask_irq()
  03f56e42d03e Revert "PCI: Add x86_msi.msi_mask_irq() and msix_mask_irq()"
  38737d82f9f0 PCI/MSI: Add pci_msi_ignore_mask to prevent writes to
MSI/MSI-X Mask Bits

but I don't think it will hurt if you pull in those as well.

The bigger problem might be the first patch of the "Save MSI chip in
pci_sys_data", which renames "struct msi_chip" to "struct
msi_controller".  I asked Yijing to do that because I didn't think
"_chip" really conveyed any information.  I didn't know we were going
to have quite this many MSI-related patches to fix up.

So I'll just leave my pci/msi branch as-is for now.  If the rename is
too painful, let me know and I'll drop the branch and we can rework
the rest of the "Save MSI chip in pci_sys_data" series to match.
