msi_mask_irq() takes a mask and a flags argument. The mask argument is used
to mask out bits from the cached mask and the flags argument to set bits.
Some places invoke it with a flags argument which sets bits which are not
used by the device, i.e. when the device supports up to 8 vectors a full
unmask in some places sets the mask to 0xFFFFFF00. While devices probably
do not care, it's still bad practice.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
