mask
capability
Per vector masking capable. This bit is hardwired to 0 because the functions do not
support the optional MSI per vector masking using the
Mask_Bits
and
Pending_Bits
registers defined in the PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev. 3.0. Per
vector masking can be implemented using Application Layer registers.
