Hi Tom.

A few MSI issues below.  Thanks,

Alex

I think this is actually 10, 14, 20, or 24.

Is there any reason for mask bits to have virtualized writes?  I don't
think we can support all 4 MSI capability sizes with this one table.  We
probably need a 32bit and 64bit version, then we can drop the mask,
pending, and reserved fields via the length.

These aren't mutually exclusive features aiui.

This should probably be something like

len = 10;
if (flags & PCI_MSI_FLAGS_MASKBIT)
    len += 10;
if (flags & PCI_MSI_FLAGS_64BIT) {
    /* set 64bit permission table */
    len += 4;
} else
    /* set 32bit permission table */

Any intention of supporting MSI multiple message capability?  If so,
this might turn into the same interface as MSIX.
