SRU Justification

[Impact]

This is a 2nd attempt with this patch set. The first attempt [1] caused a regression.

The Hyper-V vPCI driver (pci-hyperv) doesn't work with a PCIe devcie that supports
multiple MSI interrupts (Note: MSI-X has been working fine). Recently Jeffrey Hugo
<quic_jhugo at quicinc.com> made 4 patches to the vPCI driver so multiple-MSI can work
now.

[Test Plan]

Microsoft tested: " I tested the kernel and it worked as expected, i.e. we still have
the multi-MSI capability and I no longer see the soft lockup issue with fio + NVMe +
the L64s_v2 VM size."

[Where things could go wrong]

vPCI devices may not get interrupts
