The mlx4_core driver allocates 'nreq' msix vectors (and irqs),
where:
nreq = min_t(int, dev->caps.num_eqs - dev->caps.reserved_eqs,
num_possible_cpus() + 1);
ConnectX HCAs support 512 event queues (4 reserved). On a system
with enough processors, we get:
mlx4_core 0006:01:00.0: Requested 508 vectors, but only 256 MSI-X vectors
available, trying again
Further attempts (by other drivers) to allocate interrupts fail,
because mlx4_core got 'em all.
How about this?
