I'm trying to replace all weak functions , such as arch_setup_msi_irqs()/arch_setup_msi_irq(), in drivers/pci/msi.c. The framework core changes are almost ready, but it does take time to convert current arch_setup_msi_irqs() implementations to new irqdomain interfaces. Not sure whether it's the right direction to go:( Regards!
