This is the second version of providing a base to support device MSI (non

based devices in a halfways architecture independent way.

You mean "halfways" because the message addr and data follow guidelines
per arch (x86 or such), but the location of the storage isn't dictated
by architecture? or did you have something else in mind?

Yes, the actual message adress and data format are architecture
specific, but we also have x86 specific allocation info format which
needs an arch callback unfortunately.

   - Ensure that the necessary flags are set for device SMI

is that supposed to be MSI? 

Of course, but SMI is a better match for Message Storm :)
