+/*
+ * This header file contains MSI data structures and functions which are
+ * only relevant for:
+ * - Interrupt core code
+ * - PCI/MSI core code
+ * - MSI interrupt domain implementations
+ * - IOMMU, low level VFIO, NTB and other justified exceptions
+ * dealing with low level MSI details.
+ *
+ * Regular device drivers have no business with any of these functions and
+ * especially storing MSI descriptor pointers in random code is considered
+ * abuse. The only function which is relevant for drivers is msi_get_virq().
