All looks good to me; I'm guessing Lorenzo will want to apply it or at
least take a look since the bulk of this is in the native host
drivers.

s|PCI: MSI:|PCI/MSI:| above (I use "PCI/<FEATURE>:" and "PCI: <driver>:")
s|PCI: hyperv:|PCI: hv:| to match previous practice

Maybe:

  PCI: Refactor HT advertising of NO_MSI flag

since "HT" contains more information than "quirks"?

In the 03/13 commit log, s/appaling/appalling/ :)
In the patch, it sounds like the MSI capture address change might be
separable into its own patch?  If it were separate, it would be easier
to see the problem/fix and watch for it elsewhere.
