Certainly other architectures have per-bus MSI controllers, though usually it's per root complex.  In case you're not familiar with PCI Express terms (and I apologize for this if you are) a root complex is one instance of PCI Express, where traffic is defined between every part of it.  If your traffic leaves PCI Express and goes onto some processor-specific bus, it has left the root complex.  The root complex is usually modeled as a root PCI bus, a set of root port, and a set of legacy and/or embedded endpoints, which amounts to saying that some PCI/E devices are built into the root complex and not connected with links.

I don't have a use case at the moment for anything other than an MSI controller for a root complex.  If you'd like me to change this so that it more naturally extends to a situation where you'd want to use it for a specific bus, I can do that.  Please let me know.

And thanks again for your review.
