The dev-msi interrupts are to be allocated/freed only for custom devices,
not standard PCI-MSIX devices.
These interrupts are device-defined and they are distinct from the already
existing msi interrupts:
pci-msi: Standard PCI MSI/MSI-X setup format
platform-msi: Platform custom, but device-driver opaque MSI setup/control
arch-msi: fallback for devices not assigned to the generic PCI domain
dev-msi: device defined IRQ domain for ancillary devices. For e.g. DSA
portal devices use device specific IMS(Interrupt message store) interrupts.
dev-msi interrupts are represented by their own device-type. That means
dev->msi_list is never contended for different interrupt types. It
will either be all PCI-MSI or all device-defined.
Not sure I follow this, where is the enforcement that only dev-msi or
normal MSI is being used at one time on a single struct device?
So, in the dev_msi_alloc_irqs, I first check if the dev_is_pci..
If it is a pci device, it is forbidden to use dev-msi and must use the
pci subsystem calls. dev-msi is to be used for all other custom devices,
mdev or otherwise.
