irq_create_fwspec_mapping() requires translation of the firmware spec to a hardware interrupt number and the trigger type information. Wired interrupts which are connected to a wire to MSI bridge, like MBIGEN are allocated that way. So far MBIGEN provides a regular irqdomain which then hooks backwards into the MSI infrastructure. That's an unholy mess and will be replaced with per device MSI domains which are regular MSI domains. Interrupts on MSI domains are not supported by irq_create_fwspec_mapping(), but for making the wire to MSI bridges sane it makes sense to provide a special allocation/free interface in the MSI infrastructure. That avoids the backdoors into the core MSI allocation code and just shares all the regular MSI infrastructure. Provide an optional translation callback in msi_domain_ops which can be utilized by these wire to MSI bridges. No other MSI domain should provide a translation callback. The default translation callback of the MSI irqdomains will warn when it is invoked on a non-prepared MSI domain.

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.
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.
