Again, this has been discussed at lengths in the previous iterations,
for which I already gave you all the links, as you requested in a
private e-mail. It'd be great if this discussion was read seriously,
because I really have the feeling we are restarting from zero on this
whole MSI thing...
Well, two things here:

 - You don't need my ack since I am not the maintainer of the irqdomain
code anymore, Grant is :-)
Hrm, I'm being told Grant isn't anymore... I can step in and take it all
back but you might not like the result ....
Oh but it looks like MAINTAINERS says I am :-)

Ok so from that perspective, I don't like it at all. You can try to
convince me otherwise but I don't think we need to introduce a
dependency to something like msi into the core remapper. It's already to
complex.

Why don't you move the powerpc bitmap allocator over to a generic
place ? I feel like it would be actually simpler but feel free to prove
me wrong.

Ben.
