Tested on an IBM Power System LPAR (pseries).

On an unpatched kernel, all LPFC functions failed MSI/MSI-X setup with:

[    0.175139] Running MSI bitmap self-tests ...
[    1.521630] lpfc 0152:60:00.0: arch assigned 64-bit MSI address 0xffff3840 above device MSI address mask 0x0
[    1.536203] lpfc 0152:60:00.0: arch assigned 64-bit MSI address 0xffff3a00 above device MSI address mask 0x0
[    1.536318] lpfc 0152:60:00.0: 14: [    1.521874] 0:0484 PCI enable MSI-X failed (-5)
[    1.536321] lpfc 0152:60:00.0: 15: [    1.536251] 0:0488 PCI enable MSI mode failed (-5)

After applying this patch, lpfc driver probe completes successfully and
MSI/MSI-X setup works normally.

[    0.206925] Running MSI bitmap self-tests ...
[    3.040737] lpfc 0152:60:00.1: 1:3238 Reducing IO channels to match number of MSI-X vectors, requested 32 got 2

[    5.270672] lpfc 0152:60:00.3: 3:3238 Reducing IO channels to match number of MSI-X vectors, requested 32 got 1
