 Aliases are of the form 'msgr-block<n>',
+    where <n> is an integer specifying the block's number.  Numbers shall start
+    at 0.

The hw docs refer to "group A" and "group B", not "block 0" and "block 1".

Plus, I'd put "mpic-" in the alias name.

Are you suggesting that the alias should be called: 'mpic-groupA',
'mpic-groupB', 'mpic-groupC', etc... ?

I was thinking something like "mpic-msgr-group-a", "mpic-msgr-group-b" --
though if you want to use numbers instead to more easily map to potential
APIs, that's OK.
