So far, MSIs have been used to signal edge-triggered interrupts, as a write is a good model for an edge (you can't "unwrite" something). On the other hand, routing zillions of wires in an SoC because you need level interrupts is a bit extreme. People have come up with a variety of schemes to support this, which involves sending two messages: one to signal the interrupt, and one to clear it. Since the kernel cannot represent this, we've ended up with side-band mechanisms that are pretty awful. Instead, let's acknoledge the requirement, and ensure that, under the right circumstances, the irq_compose_msg and irq_write_msg can take as a parameter an array of two messages instead of a pointer to a single one. We also add some checking that the compose method only clobbers the second message if the MSI domain has been created with the MSI_FLAG_LEVEL_CAPABLE flags.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
