<glossdef>
Message Signaled Interrupts, as supported by modern chipsets such as
the ICH9. See <xref href="settings-motherboard.dita"/>. As opposed to traditional
pin-based interrupts, with MSI, a small amount of data can accompany
the actual interrupt message. This reduces the amount of hardware pins
required and allows for more interrupts and better performance.
