Sorry, I lost the original message somehow, so I can't reply to it.  I
applied this by hand to my for-linus branch for v4.2, thanks!


commit c9ddbac9c89110f77cb0fa07e634aaf1194899aa
Author: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

    PCI: Restore PCI_MSIX_FLAGS_BIRMASK definition
    
    09a2c73ddfc7 ("PCI: Remove unused PCI_MSIX_FLAGS_BIRMASK definition")
    removed PCI_MSIX_FLAGS_BIRMASK from an exported header because it was
    unused in the kernel.  But that breaks user programs that were using it
    (QEMU in particular).
    
    Restore the PCI_MSIX_FLAGS_BIRMASK definition.
