I wonder why I didn't get that.  Need a better ia64 config I guess.

The offending patch is gregkh-pci-msi-vector-targeting-abstractions.patch.

That patch already adds a declaration for msi_register(), in
drivers/pci/pci.h.  We don't want to add a duplicated declaration like
this.

One option might be to create inclued/linux/msi.h, put this declaration in
there then include <asm/msi.h>.  Possibly some other declarations should be
moved into linux/msi.h as well.
