We will fix this in next version.

Good suggestion. We will fix this in next version.

Actually here, we need to firstly consider the cases that @dev doesn't 
have @msi_domain,

according to the report by lkp.

For the platform_msi_domain_alloc_irqs, it can help check inside.

Got it. Will remove it later.

Yes, mmio doesn't have capability which limits the extension.

It need some registers to specify the msi table/mask table/pending table 
offsets if using what pci did.

As comments previously, mask/pending can be easily extended by MSI command.

For not bringing much complexity, we proposed vector per queue and fixed 
relationship between events and vectors.

So the number of vectors supported by device is equal to the total 
number of vqs and config.

We will try to explicitly highlight this point in spec for later version.


Thanks!
