The intent was for user space to tell the kernel which windows to use
for MSI. So I envisioned a total size of window-size *
msi-bank-count.
Size doesn't tell the kernel *which* banks to use, only how many. If
it already knows which banks are used by the group, then it also knows
how many are used. And size is misleading because the mapping is not
generally going to be contiguous.
