 Hello!

 Yes, this is correct. GSI number = SPI number for ARM. Also something similar for MIPS (haven't
study that).

 No.
 On ARM with vGICv2m MSI data is effectively IRQ offset, with base being 32. So, original convention
works without any change, they simply retrieve SPI number from MSI data and set up irqfd to that
SPI. No allocation is done.
 Allocation is done only on x86, with routing. They just allocate GSI numbers starting from zero and
route them to something (either irqchip or MSI).
