Re: [PATCH v2 0/2] x86/PCI: SiS PIRQ router updates

[Nikolai Zhubr]

Hello Maciej,

Apparently, my previous replies (of 11-sep-2021 to 16-sep-2021) with 
some observations somehow went to spam box or whatever. I was going to 
retry but got too busy with unrelated stuff at that time. I can re-send 
them if necessary.

Anyway. Yes, your patch is very usefull. I've tested it quite thoroughly 
back then, including sharing IRQs for 2 unrelated PCI devices etc. I 
have it always automatically applied in my private trees since then.

One peculiarity with my specific board is that I had to also patch ROM 
BIOS because it included some non-standard $IRT table instead of $PIR 
table. With that in place, it now Just Works.

Thank you again for your effort,

Regards,

Nikolai
