+ * With posted MSIs, the MSI vectors are multiplexed into a single notification
+ * vector, and only the notification vector is sent to the APIC IRR. Device
+ * MSIs are then dispatched in a demux loop that harvests the MSIs from the
+ * CPU's Posted Interrupt Request bitmap. I.e. Posted MSIs never get sent to
+ * the APIC IRR, and thus do not need an EOI. The notification handler instead
+ * performs a single EOI after processing the PIR.
*
- * "INTEL-IR-POST" IRQ chip does not do EOI on ACK, thus the dummy irq_ack()
- * function. Instead EOI is performed by the posted interrupt notification
- * handler.
+ * Note! Pending SMP/CPU affinity changes, which are per MSI, must still be
+ * honored, only the APIC EOI is omitted.
*
* For the example below, 3 MSIs are coalesced into one CPU notification. Only
- * one apic_eoi() is needed.
+ * one apic_eoi() is needed, but each MSI needs to process pending changes to
+ * its CPU affinity.
