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:
+ (X = CPU number)
+
+ Machine checks report internal hardware error conditions
+ detected by the CPU. Uncorrected errors typically cause a
+ machine check (often with panic), corrected ones cause a
+ machine check log entry.
+
+ For more details about the x86 machine check architecture
+ see the Intel and AMD architecture manuals from their
+ developer websites.
+
+ For more details about the architecture
+ see http://one.firstfloor.org/~andi/mce.pdf
+
+ Each CPU has its own directory.

+Date: Feb, 2007
+Description:
+ (Y bank number)
+
+ 64bit Hex bitmask enabling/disabling specific subevents for
+ bank Y.
+
+ When a bit in the bitmask is zero then the respective
+ subevent will not be reported.
+
+ By default all events are enabled.
+
+ Note that BIOS maintain another mask to disable specific events
+ per bank. This is not visible here

+Contact: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
+Date: Feb, 2007
+Description:
+ The entries appear for each CPU, but they are truly shared
+ between all CPUs.
+
+ How often to poll for corrected machine check errors, in
+ seconds (Note output is hexadecimal). Default 5 minutes.
+ When the poller finds MCEs it triggers an exponential speedup
+ (poll more often) on the polling interval. When the poller
+ stops finding MCEs, it triggers an exponential backoff
+ (poll less often) on the polling interval. The check_interval
+ variable is both the initial and maximum polling interval.
+ 0 means no polling for corrected machine check errors
+ (but some corrected errors might be still reported
+ in other ways)

+
+ Program to run when a machine check event is detected.
+ This is an alternative to running mcelog regularly from cron
+ and allows to detect events faster.

+Description:
+ Disables logging for corrected errors.
+ All reported corrected errors will be cleared silently.
+
+ This option will be useful if you never care about corrected
+ errors.
