Merge tag 'pci-v4.8-fixes-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci
Pull PCI fixes from Bjorn Helgaas:
"Resource management:
- Update "pci=resource_alignment" documentation (Mathias Koehrer)
MSI:
- Use positive flags in pci_alloc_irq_vectors() (Christoph Hellwig)
- Call pci_intx() when using legacy interrupts in pci_alloc_irq_vectors() (Christoph Hellwig)
Intel VMD host bridge driver:
- Fix infinite loop executing irq's (Keith Busch)"
