Yes, this is how I expected it to be.

"irq" should no longer refer to anything MSI related (MSI just requires a
vector, but not an irq). "pirq" is generally meant to be the guest
representation (even for MSI, the guest needs a pirq assigned because the event
channel interface requires one to be passed in).

Correct, because for IO-APIC irqs a 1:1 mapping is being assumed between (dom0)
pirq and (xen) irq. I think there's currently no real reason to break this
assumption, even though it seems not fully correct (because not properly
abstracted).
