121 If a device supports both MSI-X and MSI capabilities, this API will use the

125 MSI interrupt vectors must be allocated consecutively, so the system might
126 not be able to allocate as many vectors for MSI as it could for MSI-X. On
127 some platforms, MSI interrupts must all be targeted at the same set of CPUs
128 whereas MSI-X interrupts can all be targeted at different CPUs.
