This code is broken since day one. ppc4xx_setup_msi_irqs() has the
following gems:
1) The handling of the result of msi_bitmap_alloc_hwirqs() is completely
broken:
When the result is greater than or equal 0 (bitmap allocation
successful) then the loop terminates and the function returns 0
(success) despite not having installed an interrupt.
When the result is less than 0 (bitmap allocation fails), it prints an
error message and continues to "work" with that error code which would
eventually end up in the MSI message data.
2) On every invocation the file global pp4xx_msi::msi_virqs bitmap is
allocated thereby leaking the previous one.
IOW, this has never worked and for more than 10 years nobody cared. Remove
the gunk.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
