PCI: Add pci_irq_type() to query the allocated interrupt typegrafted
Add a helper that returns PCI_IRQ_MSIX, PCI_IRQ_MSI, or PCI_IRQ_INTX based on the interrupt type the PCI core selected after pci_alloc_irq_vectors(). Several drivers already open-code this check against pdev->msix_enabled and pdev->msi_enabled, or even open code this helper [1]. A common helper avoids the duplication and keeps drivers from accessing the bitfield directly (see also [2]).

+Description:
+ (WO) When a Device Physical Address (DPA) is written to this
+ attribute, the memdev driver sends an inject poison command to
+ the device for the specified address. The DPA must be 64-byte
+ aligned and the length of the injected poison is 64-bytes. If
+ successful, the device returns poison when the address is
+ accessed through the CXL.mem bus. Injecting poison adds the
+ address to the device's Poison List and the error source is set
+ to Injected. In addition, the device adds a poison creation
+ event to its internal Informational Event log, updates the
+ Event Status register, and if configured, interrupts the host.
+ It is not an error to inject poison into an address that
+ already has poison present and no error is returned. If the
+ device returns 'Inject Poison Limit Reached' an -EBUSY error
+ is returned to the user. The inject_poison attribute is only
+ visible for devices supporting the capability.
+
+ TEST-ONLY INTERFACE: This interface is intended for testing
+ and validation purposes only. It is not a data repair mechanism
+ and should never be used on production systems or live data.
+
+ DATA LOSS RISK: For CXL persistent memory (PMEM) devices,
+ poison injection can result in permanent data loss. Injected
+ poison may render data permanently inaccessible even after
+ clearing, as the clear operation writes zeros and does not
+ recover original data.
+
+ SYSTEM STABILITY RISK: For volatile memory, poison injection
+ can cause kernel crashes, system instability, or unpredictable
+ behavior if the poisoned addresses are accessed by running code
+ or critical kernel structures.

+Description:
+ (WO) When a Device Physical Address (DPA) is written to this
+ attribute, the memdev driver sends a clear poison command to
+ the device for the specified address. Clearing poison removes
+ the address from the device's Poison List and writes 0 (zero)
+ for 64 bytes starting at address. It is not an error to clear
+ poison from an address that does not have poison set. If the
+ device cannot clear poison from the address, -ENXIO is returned.
+ The clear_poison attribute is only visible for devices
+ supporting the capability.
+
+ TEST-ONLY INTERFACE: This interface is intended for testing
+ and validation purposes only. It is not a data repair mechanism
+ and should never be used on production systems or live data.
+
+ CLEAR IS NOT DATA RECOVERY: This operation writes zeros to the
+ specified address range and removes the address from the poison
+ list. It does NOT recover or restore original data that may have
+ been present before poison injection. Any original data at the
+ cleared address is permanently lost and replaced with zeros.
+
+ CLEAR IS NOT A REPAIR MECHANISM: This interface is for testing
+ purposes only and should not be used as a data repair tool.
+ Clearing poison is fundamentally different from data recovery
+ or error correction.

+Description:
+ (WO) When a Host Physical Address (HPA) is written to this
+ attribute, the region driver translates it to a Device
+ Physical Address (DPA) and identifies the corresponding
+ memdev. It then sends an inject poison command to that memdev
+ at the translated DPA. Refer to the memdev ABI entry at:
+ /sys/kernel/debug/cxl/memX/inject_poison for the detailed
+ behavior. This attribute is only visible if all memdevs
+ participating in the region support both inject and clear
+ poison commands.

+ 0x<error number> <error type>
+
+ The possible error types are (as of ACPI v6.5):

+ 0x2000 CXL.cache Protocol Uncorrectable non-fatal
+ 0x4000 CXL.cache Protocol Uncorrectable fatal

+ 0x10000 CXL.mem Protocol Uncorrectable non-fatal
+ 0x20000 CXL.mem Protocol Uncorrectable fatal
+
+ The <error number> can be written to einj_inject to inject
+ <error type> into a chosen dport.

+Description:
+ (WO) Writing an integer to this file injects the corresponding
+ CXL protocol error into $dport_dev ($dport_dev will be a device
+ name from /sys/bus/pci/devices). The integer to type mapping for
+ injection can be found by reading from einj_types. If the dport
+ was enumerated in RCH mode, a CXL 1.1 error is injected, otherwise
+ a CXL 2.0 error is injected.
