Hi Marc,
	I have looked at the code, and found some issues.
1) With my next version, no need to implemeent its_pci_msi_free()
anymore. msi_domain_free_irqs() will reset desc->irq to zero
for all architectures.

2) This piece of code in its_msi_prepare() may run into trouble
for PCI device with both MSI and MSIX capability. I will change
msi_prepare() prototype to pass in the "nvec" parameter. And you
may access first_pci_msi_entry()->msi_attrib.is_msix to get
allocation type if needed.
	nvec = pci_msix_vec_count(pdev);
	if (nvec < 0)
		nvec = pci_msi_vec_count(pdev);
	if (nvec < 0)
		return nvec;

3) Do we need to increase the default of NUM_MSI_ALLOC_SCRATCHPAD_REGS
to 4? 2 is a little too limited.

Regards!
Gerry
