From the MSI/interrupt handling POV it does not matter at all where that information is stored. All we care about is that it is retrievable via the (pci) device which tries to setup MSI[X]. So we can store/retrieve it via generic functions into/from whatever is available right now. If the irq side has generic interfaces to do so then this wont conflict with your decisions to change the final storage point because all it takes is to tweak the storage/retrieve functions. So all we need at the moment is an agreed on way to store/retrieve that information which is based on the current shared infrastructure, aka. Linus tree. If we can utilize that you are completely free to change the association mechanism underneath.
