PCI: explicitly document ISR status field
Feedback on ISR status register: It would be helpful if this section provided the meaning of each bit in the register. ISR use is scattered all around the place. Add a section describing the format and semantics. [ Merged to combine with new ISR-specific section --RR ] As per minutes: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio/201402/msg00121.html Cc: Arun Subbarao <asubbarao@lnxw.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

\subsubsection{ISR status capability}\label{sec:Virtio Transport Options / Virtio Over PCI Bus / PCI Device Layout / ISR status capability}
The device MUST present at least one VIRTIO_PCI_CAP_ISR_CFG capability. This
-refers to at least a single byte, which contains the 8-bit ISR status field:
-\begin{lstlisting}
-#define VIRTIO_PCI_ISR_VQ 0x1
-#define VIRTIO_PCI_ISR_CONFIG 0x2
-\end{lstlisting}
+refers to at least a single byte, which contains the 8-bit ISR status field.
+
+The \field{offset} for the ISR status field has no specific alignment requirements.
+
+The ISR status field is used for INT\#x interrupt handling.
+The driver MUST NOT access the ISR field when MSI-X capability
+is enabled.

+
+If MSI-X capability is disabled, device MUST set Interrupt Status
+bit in the PCI Status register in the PCI Configuration Header of
+the device to the logical OR of all bits in ISR status field of
+the device. Device then asserts/deasserts INT\#x interrupts unless masked
+according to standard PCI rules \hyperref[intro:PCI]{[PCI]}.
-See sections \ref{sec:Virtio Transport Options / Virtio Over PCI Bus / PCI-specific Initialization And Device Operation / Virtqueue Interrupts From The Device} and \ref{sec:Virtio Transport Options / Virtio Over PCI Bus / PCI-specific Initialization And Device Operation / Notification of Device Configuration Changes} for how this is used.
+Device MUST reset the ISR status field to 0 on read.
-The \field{offset} for the ISR status has no specific alignment requirements.
+In this way, driver read of ISR status causes the device to de-assert
+an interrupt.
