The pirq we pass to Xen is the Linux irq we allocate for the interrupt
source. For compatibility with native, we maintain an irq == gsi
identity, so the Xen pirq will also equal the gsi. However, there's no
problem in allocating irqs above the highest gsi for msi use; you could
either adapt xen_allocate_pirq or add an msi variant. I think the first
is preferred if possible; you'd just use "gsi" to refer to msis too, if
they have easily distinguished identifiers.

Are you thinking of putting a Xen hook in setup_msi_irq?

Thanks,
