Hi Eric,

just played a bit with the code and I could make things easier by the
following change:

Add a new kvm_extended_msi struct to store the additional device ID
specific to ARM. kvm_kernel_irq_routing_entry union now encompasses
this new struct.

I got rid of this structure at all, instead using:

This re-uses the existing MSI fields in struct msi_msg, so all the extra
code you added in the next patches to set address and data could be
skipped. If needed we can add a flags field here as well to avoid that
extra type.
That simplified a lot for me.
