Re: [PATCH] PCI/MSI: skip masking MSI on Xen PV

[Bjorn Helgaas]

If/when you repost this, please run "git log --oneline
drivers/pci/msi.c" and follow the convention of capitalizing the
subject line.

Also, I think this patch refers specifically to MSI-X, not MSI, so
please update the subject line and the "masking MSI" below to reflect
that.

7d5ec3d36123 appeared in v5.14-rc6, so if this fix is merged before
v5.14, the stable tag will be unnecessary.  But we are running out of
time there.
