"interupt" -> "interrupt"

"MSI_type" -> "MSI-type".

And "irq domain" -> "IRQ domain" in all of the above.

Given that the majority of interrupt controllers probably don't have any
MSI functionality, I wonder if perhaps this should be done in a more
helper-oriented way, see below...

This doesn't quite copy what irq_find_host() does, since it ignores the
associated ops->match().

But given that ops->match() already provides a way to hook into the
lookup, perhaps we could add a function such as this:

	int irq_domain_supports_msi(struct irq_domain *d, struct device_node *node)
	{
		if ((d->of_node == NULL) || (d->of_node != node))
			return 0;

		return d->msi_chip != NULL;
	}

Then use that in drivers that expose MSI functionality via an IRQ domain
like this:

	static const struct irq_domain_ops foo_irq_domain_ops = {
		...
		.match = irq_domain_supports_msi,
		...
	};

One problem with this is that it doesn't solve your problem where two
different IRQ domains are exposed by the same device, because the
irq_find_host() will still match the MSI IRQ domain for the non-MSI
device node as well. This could be solved by adding another match
function...

This goes in hand with the helper-style API that I mentioned above. But
it's really up to Grant to decide which way he wants this to go.
