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]).

+What: /sys/kernel/irq
+Date: September 2016
+KernelVersion: 4.9
+Contact: Craig Gallek <kraig@google.com>
+Description: Directory containing information about the system's IRQs.
+ Specifically, data from the associated struct irq_desc.
+ The information here is similar to that in /proc/interrupts
+ but in a more machine-friendly format. This directory contains
+ one subdirectory for each Linux IRQ number.

+What: /sys/kernel/irq/<irq>/actions
+Date: September 2016
+KernelVersion: 4.9
+Contact: Craig Gallek <kraig@google.com>
+Description: The IRQ action chain. A comma-separated list of zero or more
+ device names associated with this interrupt.
+
+What: /sys/kernel/irq/<irq>/chip_name
+Date: September 2016
+KernelVersion: 4.9
+Contact: Craig Gallek <kraig@google.com>
+Description: Human-readable chip name supplied by the associated device
+ driver.

+ the underlying hardware IRQ number used for this Linux IRQ.

+Date: September 2016
+KernelVersion: 4.9
+Contact: Craig Gallek <kraig@google.com>
+Description: The number of times the interrupt has fired since boot. This
+ is a comma-separated list of counters; one per CPU in CPU id
+ order. NOTE: This file consistently shows counters for all
+ CPU ids. This differs from the behavior of /proc/interrupts
+ which only shows counters for online CPUs.
+
+What: /sys/kernel/irq/<irq>/type
+Date: September 2016
+KernelVersion: 4.9
+Contact: Craig Gallek <kraig@google.com>
+Description: The type of the interrupt. Either the string 'level' or 'edge'.
