I'm not a driver writer. I don't have any usage model in mind. I'm merely asking whether this is interesting functionality, because I don't see any generic way to use it, given the current Linux MSI interfaces. I guess the answer is "the time to figure out an interface is when somebody figures out an interesting way to use it." - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
