Can't this have static scope?

We normally do

	struct msi_quirk {

kmalloc() returns void*, hence no typecast is needed.  In fact it's
undesirable because the cast defeats all typechecking.

Does the list not need any locking?

Please put these declarations in a .h file which is visible to the
implementations and to all users.

Some people use 80-column xterms.   Break the strings up thusly:

		printk(KERN_WARNING "PCI: PXH quirk detected, disabling "
				"MSI for SHPC device\n");
