Ok. will follow-up with new patch. We probably lower it to 4 instead of 8 :).

Well ok, if you want support msi-x mode only with exactly 8 msi-x lines, that's 
fine...

But because it creates another functional change - (before this patch also 
values lower than eight were allowed please split this patch into two parts. 
One for replacing pci_enable_msix() with
pci_enable_msix_range() and the other for setting a hard limit to
8 msi-x lines.
