The original code was ugly (not my code, so I can say that).  I'd like
to see it a little stream lined.  Something like:

        vdev->intr_cnt = pci_msix_table_size(vdev->pdev);

        if (vdev->intr_cnt % 2 == 0)
                vdev->intr_cnt--;

        if (vdev->intr_cnt < 3 || max_config_vpath != VXGE_USE_DEFAULT)
                goto alloc_entries_failed;

        if (vdev->intr_cnt != vdev->no_of_vpath * 2 + 1) {
                vxge_close_vpaths(vdev, vdev->intr_cnt / 2);
                vdev->no_of_vpath = vdev->intr_cnt / 2;
        }

Nit, space here please.
