Nothing wrong with it.

  I am trying to add MSI support for arm64 where the number of
MSI interrupts are not limited to 1024. It can support large number of MSI's.
Just trying to understand how many MSI's that x86 supports and is there
any generic code that I can use for arm64.

Looks like I have to do something for arm64
