That's not true. While it is currently the case that each MSI gets its
own vector, if you have a machine with sufficiently many interrupt sources
and insufficiently many interrupt vectors, it is possible we'll have to
share interrupt vectors. The PCI MSI code does not support this yet,
but it may have to in the future, and it would be unpleasant to have to
go through and change all the device drivers.
