[PATCH v9 1/2] selftests/vfio: Skip MSI tests for drivers that cannot raise interrupts

From: Rubin Du

Date: Tue Mar 17 2026 - 17:42:58 EST


Some device drivers may not have the capability to trigger MSI/MSI-X
interrupts from software. Add checks to skip the send_msi test and
the MSI portion of the mix_and_match test when the driver's send_msi
callback is NULL, allowing these drivers to still run the DMA tests.
