Fair enough. I'm struggling with finding time to document that properly.
I've not yet made my mind up what the best way forward for this is, but
I have a few ideas which I want to explore deeper.
But the most important question is right now on which architectures
these switchtec virtual interrupt things are used.
If it's used on any architecture which does not use hierarchical
irqdomains for MSI (x86, arm, arm64, power64), then using irqdomains is
obviously a non-starter unless falling back to a single interrupt would
not be considered a regression :)
