Thank you very much for this!

Do you plan to add a generic adminstrative interface to bind
interrupts, or may I add a driver specific sysctl to bind mxge's
interrupts in mxge?  If you plan to add a generic administrative
interface, I think we also need to add a way for drivers to label
their interrupts so that an administrator can differentiate between
the different MSI-X vectors.

Thanks again,

Drew
