As of today that doesn't work because there is no status flag anywhere to let
you know that was the interrupt source.

It's been raised in appropriate places, but I can't say anymore on that
until stuff is published.

Hence I'd not worry about that corner for now.

My reasoning on this is that IRQ creation has to be done by
the PCI device driver.  That may result in some juggling and late starting
or indeed restarting of DOE mailboxes once we can know the list of vectors.
(e.g. query them by polling, then a later driver register can request enabling
the DOE with an irq).
Or it needs the ability to do dynamic increasing of the requested IRQ vectors.

Agreed. I'm rarely persuaded it's a good idea to do this sort of trickery
and it definitely isn't worth the readabilty problems unless there a
large number of users.

I'm not yet setting huge advantage in wrapping this up. For now a set of
linear calls to establish the max irq vector is more readable.  Sure
down the line moving to this may make sense.

We 'could' extend existing stuff in the portdrv code (which is ultimately
where this general approach was copied from ;) but I suspect doing that
for non generic PCI stuff is going to be controversial.

That whole infrastructure in PCI may need a rewrite.
