With the msi_list and the msi_domain properties now being at the
generic device level, it is starting to be relatively easy to offer
a generic way of providing non-PCI MSIs.
The two major hurdles with this idea are:
- Lack of global ID that identifies a device: this is worked around by
having a global ID allocator for each device that gets enrolled in
the platform MSI subsystem
- Lack of standard way to write the message in the generating device.
This is solved by mandating driver code to provide a write_msg
callback, so that everyone can have their own square wheel
Apart from that, the API is fairly straightforward:
- platform_msi_create_irq_domain creates an MSI domain that gets
tagged with DOMAIN_BUS_PLATFORM_MSI
- platform_msi_domain_alloc_irqs allocate MSIs for a given device,
populating the msi_list
- platform_msi_domain_free_irqs does what is written on the tin
[ tglx: Created a seperate struct platform_msi_desc and added
kerneldoc entries ]
