Device assignments are the only currently known users - and you provide this feature, so... POWER does this nice configuration of MSI messages via a side channel. Not that it already fires the MSI-X notifiers properly, but a generic notifier based approach is the right way to abstract away the different modification channels (instead of encoding them at the consumer side like in your patches). Moreover, having different designs for MSI and MSI-X is just ugly. Jan -- Siemens AG, Corporate Technology, CT RTC ITP SDP-DE Corporate Competence Center Embedded Linux
