Hi Souradeep,

For the vmbus_pcib driver you’ll need to implement the pcib_alloc_msi, pcib_release_msi, and the msix versions, and pcib_map_msi.

For alloc and release you can just call into the same intr_* function as pci_host_generic_acpi.c. You’ll need to pass in the xref for the interrupt controller. It needs to be the xref the MSI controller registered. For the GICv2m it’s ACPI_MSI_XREF.

For pcib_map_msi I am unsure if the current code is valid on arm64. If not you’ll need to call intr_map_msi.
