    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Signaled_Interrupts

    In particular, MSI allows the device to write a small amount of interrupt-describing data to a special memory-mapped I/O address, and the chipset then delivers the corresponding interrupt to a processor. [1] [2] [3] A common misconception with MSI is that it allows the device to send data to a processor as part of the interrupt.
