SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 2/3] uio_pci_generic: add MSI/MSI-X support

That's wrong. UIO (in particular uio_pci_generic) can be used
safely in many ways, for example with any device not doing DMA. I
wouldn't put it upstream otherwise.

Make your driver work in such a way that it can be used safely,
and it can be merged.

But when you try to do this, you will find out just why VFIO/PCI is
1000s of LOC while your patch is only 500.
