AFAICT the old code either used the requested number or the minimum number.
The new code seems to claim an intermediate number of interrupts - but probably
only uses the minimum number.
This wastes the last few MSI-X interrupts.
The code (especially the calling code) would be easier to read if the 'vectors'
value wasn't explicitly passed.
