SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] cxl/mbox: Wire up irq support

One of the reasons why the bg stuff hasn't been re-posted is
because the only user currently is the sanitation work
(and hopefully maybe scan media soon), which in turn depends
on the cache-flushing thing to be picked up (unless someone
starts ranting again against wbinvd). And that is in Dave's
pmem security series which I'm hoping will be picked up for
v6.3 at some point.

So I guess we're a while away from the irq thing. I was mostly
suggesting sending an mbox-only just to layout the
pci_alloc_irq_vectors if we're not using the common table,
but per the above this might not be sooner than the pmu or
events stuff...

No arguing there.
