PSARC/2008/628 Interrupt Resource Management

I would like to see a minor clarification to the
nreq argument in ddi_set_nreq(9f).

It's not clear to me if nreq means I want nreq
more interrupts than I have now, or if it means
I want nreq total interrupts, including the n
that are already allocated to me. I think it's
the latter, but the man page should be more
specific about it by stating that nreq is the
total number of interrupt resources (including
those already allocated to the device instance)
that this instance of the device driver would
like to use.

Sorry I must have missed this in my pre-submission
review of the materials. I think it can be fixed
easily without extending the timer, since it's
a relatively minor comment.
