Are we talking about the same thing? I am talking about the value in the
"Interrupt Message Number" field. That depends on whether MSI or MSI-X
gets enabled. The number of vectors the device can support is static.

Since CXL is such an a la carte spec I think this is situation to just
specify a large number of amx vectors to pci_alloc_irq_vectors() and
then find out after the fact if all of the interrupt generators that
today's cxl_pci knows about in the device each got their own vector.
