I may not understand the issue here, but in principle I do not particularly
want to have anything outside Xen handling real IRQ vectors. In which case
this confusion should not exist in the first place? I know the last round of
patches did have dom0 poking the MSI registers, and hence it knew about real
vectors, but that's being changed in the next round, right?
