If you look at the pci/host/Kconfig you will see that other drivers
also have a separate MSI config (eg iproc, altera, xgene) so there is
precedent.  The reason that pci-brcmstb-msi.c is its own file is
because it depends on an irq function that is not exported.  That is
why CONFIG_PCI_BRCMSTB_MSI is bool, and CONFIG_PCI_BRCMSTB is
tristate.  -- Jim
