Not part of your patch, but I'm curious about this FIXME (there's an
identical FIXME in resend_msi). Has this proved to be a problem? With
these patches you could have many unallocated interrupts in array AFTER
the last allocated interrupt, correct? In that case, the loop would
continue beyond the last allocated interrupt for no purpose.  There are
a couple ways to mitigate this type of situation by using alternative
data structures to inform the loop traversal. I don't know if it is
worth the effort, though.

(nit) typo in the above comment
