Hi David, x86_msi_chip here is struct msi_chip data type, used to configure MSI/MSI-X
irq. msi_chip above is struct irq_chip data type, represent the MSI irq controller. They are
not the same object. Their name easily confusing people.

Defined in arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c
/*
 * IRQ Chip for MSI PCI/PCI-X/PCI-Express Devices,
 * which implement the MSI or MSI-X Capability Structure.
 */
static struct irq_chip msi_chip = {
	.name			= "PCI-MSI",
	.irq_unmask		= unmask_msi_irq,
	.irq_mask		= mask_msi_irq,
	.irq_ack		= ack_apic_edge,
	.irq_set_affinity	= msi_set_affinity,
	.irq_retrigger		= ioapic_retrigger_irq,
};


Defined in arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c, introduced in patch 7/21
struct msi_chip apic_msi_chip = {
	.setup_irqs = native_setup_msi_irqs,
	.teardown_irq = native_teardown_msi_irq,
};
[...]
struct msi_chip *x86_msi_chip = &apic_msi_chip;


Thanks!
