And you are aware that the ThunderX GPIO driver that I am attempting to 
merge uses this interface.

If this patch gets merged, should I ask to revert it when the GPIO 
driver goes in?

You offer no solution for drivers that would benefit from using a sparse 
sub set of the available MSI-X vectors.
