Okay, Xen needs to support MSI first. I don't expect significant impacts
to XenLinux though. A good thing with MSI is that we can eliminate IO
APIC things from dom0. I wrote part of the MSI code (e.g. switch irqs
and vectors) for Linux, so I'll talk to Keir. BTW, CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG
(required for PCI Express) is working fine in dom0.
