Newbus prints out the IRQ number after : a successful device probe phase. It has no knowledge of MSI at that : point, so it just prints out the traditional IRQ value. At some point, : this needs to be fixed. Having the driver tell newbus about its MSI : intentions in the probe routine is unrealistic, so there is no quick : fix there. Probably need to delay printing the device message until : later in the attach routine, once the driver has set up all of the : resources. I've been wanting to move the printing of the attach string from post-probe, pre-attach to post-attach for some time now. We would then report the resources assigned to the device. I'm not sure if I'd print all the resources assigned, or only those the driver activates. Both sides of the argument have merit, imho. On the pro side, resources are used, and printing them will help highlight conflicts. On the con side, people think it clutters things up too much and might lead to false expectations. When I've mentioned this desire at various developer summits, I was told basically "go for it, but only at freebsd X.0 since people have dmesg parsers" by many people (maybe even including Scott).
