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]).

+Determines whether the kernels maps a vDSO page into 32-bit processes;
+can be set to 1 to enable, or 0 to disable. Defaults to enabled if
+``CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO`` is set, disabled otherwise.

+This controls the same setting as the ``vdso32`` kernel boot
+parameter.
