My gcc 9.4.0 didn't generate a warning.

hv_compose_msi_req_v3() is for both ARM64 and x86. In the case of ARM64
the 'vector' can be a u32 integer according to the comment around struct 
hv_msi_desc3.

hv_compose_msi_req_v1 and v2 are for x86 only, and the 'vector' can't be
longer than u8. I can post a v2 with the extra changes below:
