The current linked list storage for MSI descriptors is suboptimal in
several ways:
1) Looking up a MSI desciptor requires a O(n) list walk in the worst case
2) The upcoming support of runtime expansion of MSI-X vectors would need
to do a full list walk to figure out whether a particular index is
already associated.
3) Runtime expansion of sparse allocations is even more complex as the
current implementation assumes an ordered list (increasing MSI index).
Use an xarray which solves all of the above problems nicely.

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.
