The PCI spec knows nothing of SPIs.

Please use the correct terminology: an interrupt is a signal delivered
to the CPU. A *message* is what the device sends, which the GIC turns
into an interrupt. Here, you are using the same word for two different
things.

The problem is that the device encodes a delta from a base message,
that the delta is encoded with log2(nr_vectors) bits, OR'ing the
vector number with the base message. If the base message is not
correctly aligned, shit happens.

Please rephrase this commit message so that it actually makes sense.
We shouldn't need examples if the commit message was correctly
written.

Move the definition of align_off inside the loop.

Isn't the GICv3 MBI driver affected by the same issue?
