Yeah, my bad.

So how about:

"available-interrupts" denotes the input numbers to an
interrupt controller that the OS can freely assign.  This
naming fits in well with the other interrupt property names,
and the semantics are nicely generic.

"msi-ranges", if present, denotes the ranges of input
interrupt numbers that can be used for MSIs (does this
fit what you need well, Olof?)
