Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Re: [PATCH 0/5] Add MSI support to xen environment
So, Keir, how about the attached method for the per-domain pirq?
Now there is no need to change domain0 any more. Also domain U can't do
the map. I verified current domain0/domU works on it.
But it still changes the control panel and hope that is acceptable.

Thanks
Yunhong Jiang
