+OPAL_GET_MSI_32 and OPAL_GET_MSI_64
+-----------------------------------
+
+#define OPAL_GET_MSI_32 39
+#define OPAL_GET_MSI_64 40
+
+WARNING: following documentation is from old sources, and is possibly
+not representative of OPALv3 as implemented by skiboot. This should be
+used as a starting point for full documentation.
+
+OPAL PHBs encode MVE and XIVE specifiers in MSI DMA and message data values.
+The host calls these functions to determine the PHB MSI DMA address and message
+data to program into a PE PCIE function for a particular MVE and XIVE. The
+msi_address parameter returns the MSI DMA address and the msi_data parameter
+returns the MSI DMA message data value the PE uses to signal that interrupt.
+
+ The phb_id parameter is the value from the PHB node ibm,opal-phbid
+ property.
+
+ The mve_number is the index of an MVE used to authorize this PE to this
+ MSI. For ibm,opal-ioda2 PHBs, the MVE number argument is ignored.
+
+ The xive_number is the index of an XIVE that corresponds to a particular
+ DMA address and message data value this PE will signal as an MSI ro MSI-X.
+
+ The msi_range parameter specifies the number of MSIs associated with the
+ in put MVE and XIVE, primarily for MSI-conventional Multiple Message
+ Enable > 1 MSI. MSI requires consecutive MSIs per MSI address, and each
+ MSI DMA address must be unique for any given consecutive power of 2 set
+ of 32 message data values,. which in turn select particular PHB XIVEs.
+ This value must be a power of 2 value in the range of 0 to 32. OPAL
+ returns opal_parameter for values outside of this range.
+
+For MSI conventional, the MSI address and message data returned apply to a
+power of 2 sequential set of XIVRs starting from the xive_number for the
+power of 2 msi_range input argument. The message data returned represents the
+power of 2 aligned starting message data value of the first interrupt number
+in that sequential range. Valid msi_range input values are from 1 to 32.
+Non-power of 2 values result in a return code of opal_PARAMETER .
+
+An msi_range value of 0 or 1 signifies that OPAL should return the message
+data and message address for exactly one MSI specified by the input XIVE
+number. For MSI conventional, the host should specify either a value of 0 or 1,
+for an MSI Capability MME value of 1 MSI. For MSI-X XIVRs, the host should
+specify a value of '1' for the msi_range argument and call this function for
+each MSI-X uniquely.
