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]).

+Real-time Linux Analysis tool

+:Manual section: 1
+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+**rtla** *COMMAND* [*OPTIONS*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+The **rtla** is a meta-tool that includes a set of commands that aims to
+analyze the real-time properties of Linux. But instead of testing Linux
+as a black box, **rtla** leverages kernel tracing capabilities to provide
+precise information about the properties and root causes of unexpected
+results.
+
+COMMANDS
+========
+**hwnoise**
+
+ Detect and quantify hardware-related noise.
+
+**osnoise**
+
+ Gives information about the operating system noise (osnoise).
+
+**timerlat**
+
+ Measures the IRQ and thread timer latency.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+**-h**, **--help**
+
+ Display the help text.
+
+For other options, see the man page for the corresponding command.
+
+SEE ALSO
+========
+**rtla-hwnoise**\(1), **rtla-osnoise**\(1), **rtla-timerlat**\(1)
