That is true according to the current logic but the comment on top of
pci_enable_msix() still says:
"A return of < 0 indicates a failure. Or a return of > 0 indicates
that driver request is exceeding the number of irqs or MSI-X vectors
available"
So you're counting on an implementation that may change in the future.
I think leaving the code as it is now is safer.
