I think the ARM64 GICv2m should not be the limitation for the devices 
multiple MSI if there is no real hardware/design limitation.

I am not sure if I understand this comment.

We are not forcing all interrupt controllers for ARM64 to handle 
multi-MSI.  They have the option to support if multi-MSI if they want 
to. I just think that we should not put the architectural limit here.

Thanks,
