Unfortunately I'm not sure that I know what GSI actually means... I
believe it stands for Global System Interrupt, but I'm not sure that
that helps. Windows will give me the 'Translated' interrupt, which is
the vector, and the 'Raw' interrupt, which is 28 in my case. Could this
be the GSI?

I can get bus, dev, and fn, but can't seem to find 'pin' from the
information that Windows gives me... if 28 isn't the GSI, then I'll have
to look harder for this 'pin' number in the windows structures...

What is the simplest thing I could do to get the hypervisor to trigger
an interrupt? That would tell me for sure that it's working. I have only
implemented a tiny bit of the event channel logic, and no xen bus stuff
yet...

Thanks
