Subject[PATCH 1/3] PCI/MSI: Initial hook for archs to declare multivector MSI support
Date
For the most part multivector MSI is not supported and drivers and
hardware wanting multiple vectors opt for MSI-X instead. It seems
though that having the ability to query the arch/platform code to
determine whether allocating multiple MSI vectors will ever succeed
is a useful thing. For instance, vfio-pci can use this to determine
whether to expose multiple MSI vectors to the user. If we know we
cannot ever support more than one vector, we have a better shot at
the userspace driver working, especially if it's a guest OS, if we
only expose one vector as being available in the interface.
