I had a look at this series a long while ago, and nothing seem out of
sorts on the MSI front. If anything, this is better than what is
currently there.

As for the rest of the series:

Patch 18 is odd: the use of the handle_simple_irq() flow is likely
papering over something (I'd expect RP interrupts to be edge
triggered), and it is impossible to mask them. But hey, after being
singled out by the author as the big bad bully who prevents people
from fixing things, I can't say I care.

I only objected to patch 23, which is a total no-go.

Thanks,

	M.
