It's been a while since I read the PCI spec, but this feels like it does not follow what MSI is supposed to allow. Is the "CDX" spec anywhere that mentions any of this as to what is supposed to be allowed and supported? And what is a "single device" here in how the kernel knows about it? Is it a PCI device, or some other new structure that is handed to the kernel from the BIOS? thanks, greg k-h
