On some platforms/devices, there may not be enough MSI vectors allocated for the virtqueues and config changes. In such a case, the interrupt sources(virtqueues, config changes) must share an IRQ/vector, to avoid initialization failures, keep the device functional. This commit handles three cases: (1) number of the allocated vectors == the number of virtqueues + 1 (config changes), every virtqueue and the config interrupt has a separated vector/IRQ, the best and the most likely case. (2) number of the allocated vectors is less than the best case, but greater than 1. In this case, all virtqueues share a vector/IRQ, the config interrupt has a separated vector/IRQ (3) only one vector is allocated, in this case, the virtqueues and the config interrupt share a vector/IRQ. The worst and most unlikely case. Otherwise, it needs to fail. This commit introduces some helper functions: ifcvf_set_vq_vector() and ifcvf_set_config_vector() sets virtqueue vector and config vector in the device config space, so that the device can send interrupt DMA.

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.
