Ähm.. I can't follow. The new version doesn't use double underscores
anymore. __pcim_intx() is being removed, effectively.
After this series, we'd end up with a clean:

        pci_intx() <-> pcim_intx()

just as in the other PCI APIs.

I can't follow. You mean:

if (new == pci_command)
    return;

?

That's exactly the same level of indentation. Plus, I just copied the
code.
