- Add a new apic_alloc_vectors() method to the local APIC support code
to allocate N contiguous IDT vectors (aligned on a M >= N boundary).
This function is used to allocate IDT vectors for a group of MSI
messages.
- Add MSI and MSI-X PICs. The PIC code here provides methods to manage
edge-triggered MSI messages as x86 interrupt sources. In addition to
the PIC methods, msi.c also includes methods to allocate and release
MSI and MSI-X messages. For x86, we allow for up to 128 different
MSI IRQs starting at IRQ 256 (IRQs 0-15 are reserved for ISA IRQs,
16-254 for APIC PCI IRQs, and IRQ 255 is reserved).
- Add pcib_(alloc|release)_msi[x]() methods to the MD x86 PCI bridge
drivers to bubble the request up to the nexus driver.
- Add pcib_(alloc|release)_msi[x]() methods to the x86 nexus drivers that
ask the MSI PIC code to allocate resources and IDT vectors.
