Will do in v3. But, this patch only makes the current Hyper-V vPCI code
architectural neutral by adding those interfaces that you mention below.
I will update the wording to make this clear in v3. thanks for the suggestion.

All of the above points noted; thanks. Will address in v3.

Yes, the wording of 'irqchip' is a bit misleading for this patch as it gets
added in 2/2. Thanks for the suggestion; I will reword in v3.

Hyper-V vPCI is not firmware enumerated and so we cannot take a
dependency on the firmware to dictate whether or not to instantiate
an irqchip or not. I am open to suggestions though.

Noted, thanks. Will fix in v3.
