I used this patch series (or rather the v2 in your git tree) to rework the GICv3 ITS patch series. So far, the API seems cleaner (fewer global functions, increased flexibility), at the expense of a bit more complexity.

One thing is still missing though: the way the MSI stacked domain works at the moment prevents the use of the msi_chip infrastructure (you need to override arch_setup_msi_irqs, which in turn prevents the use of msi_chips using setup_irq/teardown_irq callbacks. On arm/arm64, most MSI controllers are using the latter, while it is likely that the newer ones will be using the stacked domains.

My solution to this is to slightly extend the msi_chip framework so that we can hock into the MSI domain framework on a per-msi-chip basis (see patch below). With this in place, I can completely get rid of any arm64-specific code (the msi_chip framework becomes good enough for us):

Subject: [PATCH v2 02/14] PCI/MSI: Allow an msi_chip to be associated to an
 irq domain

The new MSI stacked domain has the interesting effect that it is
quite hard to use if the architecture doesn't provide its own
arch_setup_msi_irqs() function to override the default.

This inhibates the msi_chip infrastructure introduced in
0cbdcfcf427b (PCI: Introduce new MSI chip infrastructure), as it is
not possible to use it as an indirection between the core MSI code
and the MSI driver (useful when having multiple MSI controllers that
do not share the same requirements). The setup_irq and teardown_irq
are rendered useless, as their role is now taken over by the alloc/free
functions in the irq domain code.

This patch introduces two optionnal fields to the msi_chip structure:
- a pointer to an irq domain, describing the MSI domain associated
  with this msi_chip. To be populated with msi_create_irq_domain.
- a domain_alloc_irqs() callback that has the same purpose as
  arch_setup_msi_irqs(), with the above domain as an additional
  parameter.

If both of these fields are non-NULL, then domain_alloc_irqs() is
called, bypassing the setup_irq callback. This allows the MSI driver
to use the domain stacking feature without mandating core support in
the architecture.

Tested on arm64 with the GICv3 ITS.

Thoughts? I'll post the full patch series later today.

Thanks,
