Yes I fully agree and this is aknowledged in the cover/commit msg. I
dared to do that because this has the benefits to allow introducing the
userspace API while refining this computation later on.

I did not find yet an elegant solution to compute the platform max
number/size of doorbells (besides what I did in the past which was
dependent on the group/device current topology).

Maybe an option would be to have the relevant MSI controllers
registering their doorbells in a global list at probe time and then we
would enumerate all of them. I was reluctant to add this new
functionality in the series at this stage, hence the current simplification.

Hum yes, sorry for the lack of care.

OK will rewrite & check that.
