The goal was to expose the IRQs to userspace. The indexes don't matter,
just the IRQs. Is there a reason why we would need the indexes? One
thing about using indexes though, how would the show function work? I
assume the filename would be the index into msi_list. Then each time the
show function is executed you walk the list until you hit that index.
That would be my way of doing it but it means a spinlock needs to be put
in that show function and in msi_free_irqs when walking msi_list. With a
binary attribute and it's private pointer or an irq-filename we could
avoid that.

Thanks Greg, I wasn't sure what to do there. I've updated it to no
permissions.
Would it make more sense to have the filename be the entry_nr, and the
content be the irq?
yes, I thought that was what the original idea was here...
