Hi Thomas,
So we need something like:
struct msi_chip *pci_get_msi_chip(struct pci_dev *);
or:
struct irq_domain *pci_get_msi_domain(struct pci_dev *);

BTW, there's a conflict when merging tip/irq/irqdomain into
tip/x86/apic. It's my first time to deal with merging conflicts,
what's the preferred way? Is it working like this?
1) I merge the two branch
2) I rebase my x86 irqdomain patch sets and send them to you
3) You merge the two branch and apply my patch set.
Regards!
Gerry
