From: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-03-22 18:54:41
Also in: linux-hyperv, linux-mediatek, linux-pci, linux-renesas-soc, linux-tegra, lkml
Subsystem: pci subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Bjorn Helgaas, Linus Torvalds

We have now 4 ways of ending up with NO_MSI being set.
Document them.
