Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the reply. Regarding generic_pcie_acpi_alloc_msix( ), it can be called if the
PCI device is child of the generic pcib ( DRIVER_MODULE(pcib, acpi, generic_pcie_acpi_driver, 0, 0) . 
But if the PCI device is communicating with a different pcib driver (like vmbus_pcib),
in that case do we need to implement all these functions of pci_host_generic_acpi.c ?

Or there are some ways to reuse them?
