3 bit gets us 64 bit alignment, no? Seems a bit more than we need:
we need at most 16 bit alignment.

I don't see how it's kvm specific. This just makes it possible to split data path and
configuration. Good for security as well. I was actually debating a
separate configuration for ISR and NOTIFICATION.

No idea what you mean - it's a pci device, how should it signal eventfds?

Pls look closer, we don't require all 3 of them. For example, we can have BAR0
DEVICE and COMMON, and notifications will use BAR0.

By using an identical structure we make is much easier to reuse
and extend it. For example we might add a separate structure for ISR.

For MSI-X this is exactly what this change does, by splitting
device-specific parts out. So if DEVICE capability is present,
this tells us where the device specific data starts and
enabling MSI-X does not relocate it.

Are there other fields we want to move?
