We only do that for *guest kernels* if we have to but we've always been
compatible with older host kernels.

Isn't there a capability flag that KVM sets if KVM_SIGNAL_MSI is
supported? Just store that in 'struct kvm" and switch between
virtio_pci__signal_msi() and kvm__irq_trigger() depending on wheter the
flag is set.
