This has been superseeded by irq_alloc_descs_from(), which is the right
way to do it.

For multiple-MSI the allocated interrupt numbers must be a power-of-2,
and must be naturally aligned. I don't /think/ that's a requirement for
the virtual numbers, but it's probably best that we do it anyway.

So this API needs to specify that it will give you back a power-of-2
block that is naturally aligned - otherwise you can't use it for MSI.

This comment doesn't make sense to me.

I'd like to see this whole function rewritten to reduce the duplication
vs irq_create_mapping(). I don't see any reason why this can't be the
core routine, and irq_create_mapping() becomes a caller of it, passing a
count of 1 ?

The above doesn't work.

You might have just disposed of someone elses mapping, we shouldn't do
that. It should be an error to the caller.
