Then I think some of the bits that are moved from
xen/drivers/passthrough/pci.c (alloc_pci_msi, free_pci_msi and
dump_pci_msi) need to be protected by a Kconfig option different than
CONFIG_PCI_MSI_INTERCEPT, as those are not related to MSI interception,
but to MSI handling in general (ie: Xen devices using MSI need
those). The same with the msi_list and msix fields of pci_dev, those
are not only used for MSI interception.

Or at least might be worth mentioning that the functions will be
needed for Xen to be able to use MSI interrupts itself, even if not
for interception purposes.

Thanks, Roger.
