ok, I'll have a look

I tried that and it doesn't look to work.

I find that for the its_msi_prepare() call, its_dev->shared does not
get set, as MSI_ALLOC_FLAGS_SHARED_DEVICE is not set in info->flags.

If I understand the code correctly, MSI_ALLOC_FLAGS_SHARED_DEVICE is
supposed to be set in info->flags in platform_msi_set_desc(), but this
is called per-msi after its_msi_prepare(), so we don't the flags set
at the right time. That's how it looks to me...

Meh. I was trying multiple things, and of course commited the worse
possible approach.

I've updated the branch, having verified that we do get the flag in
the ITS now.

Thanks,

M.
