Subject: [PATCH] usb: correctly enable interrupts for xhci

xhci might run with MSI/MSI-X only, with no support for legacy
interrupts. On these devices the request_irq() call in usb_add_hcd()
will fail, causing the entire device to fail.
For xhci this is especially painful as the driver will enable
interrupts during xhci_run(), so the initial call to request_irq()
is not required anyway.

This patch adds a flag 'msix_supported' to struct usb_hcd, which
will cause usb_add_hcd() to skip interrupt setup. This flag is
set in xhci-pci, so the registration will skip the first request_irq()
and can proceed.

It doesn't seem to work. I just tried applying the patch to the 3.8
kernel in Debian experimental and this was the result during boot:

[ 1.203390] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: can't derive routing for PCI INT A
[ 1.203393] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: PCI INT A: no GSI

I think it might be better to fix this in hcd-pci.c:usb_hcd_pci_probe.
At that point if we see that MSI/MSI-X is available, the call to
usb_add_hcd can pass 0 instead of dev->irq.

It may even be possible to do this without adding an extra flag
anywhere. It also has the advantage of keeping special knowledge about
MSI encapsulated in the PCI-specific parts of the code.
