MSI Interrupts for Endpoints
The MSI interrupt notifies the host when a DMA operation has completed. After the host receives this
interrupt, it can poll the DMA read or write status table to determine which entry or entries have the
done
bit set. This mechanism allows host software to avoid continuous polling of the status table
done
bits.
