Two IRQ domains are added on top of default machine IRQ domain. First, the top level "pSeries-PCI-MSI" domain deals with the MSI specificities. In this domain, the HW IRQ numbers are generated by the PCI MSI layer, they compose a unique ID for an MSI source with the PCI device identifier and the MSI vector number. These numbers can be quite large on a pSeries machine running under the IBM Hypervisor and /sys/kernel/irq/ and /proc/interrupts will require small fixes to show them correctly. Second domain is the in-the-middle "pSeries-MSI" domain which acts as a proxy between the PCI MSI subsystem and the machine IRQ subsystem. It usually allocate the MSI vector numbers but, on pSeries machines, this is done by the RTAS FW and RTAS returns IRQ numbers in the IRQ number space of the machine. This is why the in-the-middle "pSeries-MSI" domain has the same HW IRQ numbers as its parent domain. Only the XIVE (P9/P10) parent domain is supported for now. We still need to add support for IRQ domain hierarchy under XICS.

README
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.
