If you prefer we could consider this patch outside of the main series
since it brings extra functionalities (MSI geometry reporting). In a
first QEMU integration we would live without knowing the MSI geometry I
think, all the more so I currently report an arbitrary number of
requested IOVA pages. The computation of the exact number of doorbells
to map brings extra complexity and I did not address this issue yet.

It sketches a possible user API to report the MSI geometry based on the
capability chains, as you suggested some time ago. I am currently busy
drafting a QEMU integration.

Best Regards
