PCI/MSI: Export MSI mode using attributes, not kobjects
The PCI MSI sysfs code is a mess with kobjects for things that don't really
need to be kobjects. This patch creates attributes dynamically for the MSI
interrupts instead of using kobjects.
Note, this removes a directory from sysfs. Old MSI kobjects:
pci_device
└── msi_irqs
└── 40
└── mode
New MSI attributes:
pci_device
└── msi_irqs
└── 40
As there was only one file "mode" with the kobject model, the interrupt
number is now a file that returns the "mode" of the interrupt (msi vs.
msix).
