Hi Eric,

just played a bit with the code and I could make things easier by the
following change:

I got rid of this structure at all, instead using:

 @@ -317,6 +324,7 @@ struct kvm_kernel_irq_routing_entry {
  		} irqchip;
-		struct msi_msg msi;
+		struct {
+			struct msi_msg msi;
+			u32 devid;
+		};
  		struct kvm_s390_adapter_int adapter;
  	};
  	struct hlist_node link;
  };

This re-uses the existing MSI fields in struct msi_msg, so all the extra
code you added in the next patches to set address and data could be
skipped. If needed we can add a flags field here as well to avoid that
extra type.
That simplified a lot for me.

Cheers,
André
