You passed in dev here, you don't need to use iov->self, right?

OK, I think I get it -- you've basically written an interrupt handler
for the driver to call from its interrupt handler.  Am I right in
thinking that the reason the driver needs to do the interrupt handler
here is because we don't currently have an interface that looks like:

int pci_get_msix_interrupt(struct pci_dev *dev, unsigned vector);

?  If so, we should probably add it; I want it for my MSI-X rewrite
anyway.
