It's not - it's the vector itself.  Sadly the code in question (msi-
xen.c) seems to confuse the use of pirq and vector in the variable
names, so I'm not exactly sure how to describe it.  It's the returned
value from msi_map_vector() when called by pci_enable_msix() in dom0.

What is the magic step I'm missing to go from the vector that I get back
from pci_enable_msix() to the value for "PIRQ assigned to the MSI
vector" to give to PHYSDEVOP_map_pirq?

Thanks

Kieran
