(a) Alan suggested just dropping __must_check IIRC. And David Brownell even sent a patch to do that (which Alan acked).
(b) not that I know of.

Uh, I think that my thinking was like this:
pci_try_set_mwi() and pci_set_mwi() are both "try best effort" functions. Neither of them guarantees that pci_set_cacheline_size() will succeed. And in case of serious problems, pci_set_cacheline_size() will print a (KERN_DEBUG) message.
Anyway, I don't mind restoring the former lpfc code if that is what should be done.
