Yes you're right. In the meantime I double checked the IORT spec and the
deviceid only is unique within an ITS group node. But there can be
several group nodes.
"ITS group nodes describe which ITS units are in the system. A node
allows grouping of more than one ITS, but all ITSs in the group must
share a common understanding of DeviceID values. That is, a given
DeviceID must represent the same device for all ITS units in the group."

Can't we setup an heuristic based on dist->lpi_list_count incremented on
vgic_add_lpi() used on MAPI/MAPTI? Of course not all of them are
assigned device ones. But currently the cache is being used for all LPIs
including those triggered through the user space injection (KVM_SIGNAL_MSI).
Otherwise there is an existing interface between KVM and VFIO that may
be leveraged to pass info between both?
