Overall looks good to me, would you mind splitting this into multiple
patches:
1- Create igbuio_pci_enable_interrupts() and
igbuio_pci_disable_interrupts() functions without changing anything

2- Add pci_free_irq_vectors()

3- add MSI support

I am not familiar with details of this function, is there a sample usage
in kernel that can help understanding it?

Since two if block is using this, I think this can be moved to function
scope.

Can you please move version check to the compat.h? I am aware this
version check is there for msix, but since we are doubling it, it can be
good time to fix both.

This walks on same list (msi_list) with above msix code. Is there a way
to say if this msi_desc for MSI or MSIx interrupts, how
igbuio_msi_mask_irq() will distinguish them?

Please add fall back comment: /* fall back to MSI */

And related this fallback, previously flow was:
Try MSIX, if fails try legacy.

Now it is:
Try MSIX, if fails try MSI, if fails try legacy.

Do you think, does this new step included may break anyone's out that
would expect to fallback to legacy? (although I don't expect, I believe
good to sound it)
