We have two flavours of platform-MSI: - MSIs generated by devices for themselves (the usual case) - MSIs generated on behalf of other devices, as the generating device is some form of bridge (either a wire-to-MSI bridge, or even a non-transparent PCI bridge that repaints the PCI requester ID). In the latter case, the underlying interrupt architecture may need to track this in order to keep the mapping alive even when no MSI are currently being generated. Add a set of flags to the generic msi_alloc_info_t structure, as well as the MSI_ALLOC_FLAGS_PROXY_DEVICE flag that will get advertized by the platform-MSI code when allocating an irqdomain for a device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
