Yes, something like that indeed.

Not necessarly multiple MSI controllers. As far as I can see, a v2m MSI
frame describes a range of SPIs, and I can perfectly imagine a system
where someone would have a number of these, each capable of generating a
number of SPIs. It becomes interesting when you have non-contiguous SPI
ranges... ;-)

I can, but it is unlikely I'll be able to find about what people outside
of ARM are doing. They usually only get in touch when they've screwed
something up.. ;-)

Anyway, maybe we just don't need to address this at this point in
time. Adding a comment to that effect would probably be enough, and give
a hint to anyone building such a configuration.

Thanks,
