I think an ideal solution would be for additional logic in drivers/msi.c
(e.g. in functions like msi_capability_init) to determine (based on the
passed in pci_dev) which MSI controller ops to use. I'm not sure the best
way to implement an association between an MSI controller and PCI busses
(I believe arch/sparc does something like this - perhaps there will be
inspiration there).
As you've pointed out, most RCs will have their own MSI controllers - so
it should be easy to register and associate both together.
I've submitted my previous work on MSI controller registration, but it
doesn't quite solve this problem - perhaps it can be a starting point?
