Sorry it took a bit to respond to this.  I kept hoping I'll have time to
test it but looks like I won't before I'm on vacation.  I agree it's
good cleanup, and maybe we can go even further, see below.

Yes. But let's split free_vectors out into free_msix_vectors and
free_intx as well?

Yes, I agree, this is good cleanup, structure field names should be
desriptive.  Are you sure we want to make all local variables named
vector renamed to msix_vector though? CodingStyle says local var names
should be short ...  A couple of ideas below.

Good. And now we don't need the comment.

checkpatch will complain that space is lacking around "+".
We won't have a problem if we keep it named vector.

I know it's enough to look at msix_vectors, but isn't
it cleaner to have per_vq_vectors consistent as well?
E.g. del_vqs seems to only look at per_vq_vectors.

Maybe move this part out into a separate function?  This way
vp_try_to_find_vqs does high-level processing.

Out of curiosity: why do you put {} here? They aren't
strictly necessary ...
