No.  But when msic_count > 1, we have multiple interrupts.

Assume that an XHCI controller has two rings, and that each one gets its
own MSI-X interrupt.  How should the driver decide which of the rings
needs to be handled?

irqreturn_t xhci_msix_irq(struct usb_hcd *hcd)
{
	struct xhci_hcd *xhci = hcd_to_xhci(hcd);

	if (...)
		handle(xhci->ring[0]);
	else
		handle(xhci->ring[1]);
}

I.e., what should go into the if()?
