The logic here would benefit from a comment explaining why we only need
one vector in the MSI case, or a reference to the documentation.

Why remove this last sentence?

Why this non-doc comment? We don't annotate every method with their list
of callers (and it will become obvious with the conditional dead_code of
the next patch) so let's remove it.

Let's add this method with the doorbell test so we can avoid the
temporary dead_code.
