Why is this a void * argument and then converting it to a u32 *? Just to
make that function completely unreadable?

Lacks a comment. Also mp_swizzle... is a misnomer as this invokes the
msi compose function which is not what the function name suggests.

Sorry, but this is unreviewable gunk. The whole msi_msg setup sucks with
this unholy macro maze. I have a half finished series which allows
architectures to provide shadow members for data, address_* so this can
be done proper with bitfields.

Aside of that it works magically because polarity,trigger and mask bit
have been set up before. But of course a comment about this is
completely overrated.

Thanks,
