For NTB devices, we want to be able to trigger MSI interrupts through a memory window. In these cases we may want to use more interrupts than the NTB PCI device has available in its MSI-X table. We allow for this by creating a new 'virtual' interrupt. These interrupts are allocated as usual but are not programmed into the MSI-X table (as there may not be space for them). The MSI address and data will then handled through an NTB MSI library introduced later in this series.

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.
