I've put together some code to trigger the test MSI and either fall back to
LSI if it isn't detected, or continue on using MSI.  In the routine that
does the setup and test I have this call to request_irq:

rc = request_irq(pdev->irq, ipr_test_intr, 0, IPR_NAME, ioa_cfg);

Note that the flags value is '0'.  The question came up as to whether or
not this value should really be IRQF_SHARED.  Given that this is for an MSI
interrupt and MSI interrupts are not shared by definition, IRQF_SHARED did
not seem correct.

What should the flags value be in this case?
