    Yes, agree!

    Correct! remove 'else' here make code more clear.

    Do you mean to add 2 new vectors for MSI/MSIX in hc_driver?

    It is reasonable. When I written the code, I thought it may need
    different MSI/MSIX irq handlers later for different driver. :)

    Actually, There is 2 ways to implement this vectors for detail.
    a, let driver's self code to do request_irq() for each of vectors for
    MSI/MSIX, and hc_driver just has a simple hook for them.
    b, do detailed request_irq() work in usb-core(in hcd-pci.c).

    Consider all pci MSI/MSIX interface is similar, we may prefer the second
    way to save some code.

    What's opinions for above 2 ways?
