-int pci_enable_msi_block_auto(struct pci_dev *dev, unsigned int *count)
-
-This variation on pci_enable_msi() call allows a device driver to request
-the maximum possible number of MSIs.  The MSI specification only allows
-interrupts to be allocated in powers of two, up to a maximum of 2^5 (32).
-
-If this function returns a positive number, it indicates that it has
-succeeded and the returned value is the number of allocated interrupts. In
-this case, the function enables MSI on this device and updates dev->irq to
-be the lowest of the new interrupts assigned to it.  The other interrupts
-assigned to the device are in the range dev->irq to dev->irq + returned
-value - 1.
-
-If this function returns a negative number, it indicates an error and
-the driver should not attempt to request any more MSI interrupts for
-this device.
-
-If the device driver needs to know the number of interrupts the device
-supports it can pass the pointer count where that number is stored. The
-device driver must decide what action to take if pci_enable_msi_block_auto()
-succeeds, but returns a value less than the number of interrupts supported.
-If the device driver does not need to know the number of interrupts
-supported, it can set the pointer count to NULL.
