I think I said it at plumbers, but yes, we are interested in this, and would like dynamic MSI-like interrupts available to the driver (what Intel calls IMS)
It is something easy enough to illustrate with any RDMA device really, just open a MR against the addr and use RDMA_WRITE to trigger the data. It should trigger a Linux IRQ. Nothing else should be needed.
