Easy. ARM code can always use struct kvm_extended_msi, and flags can go to this structure.

Homogeneity is perfect IMHO.
If that would be simpler for you, i could post a patch for this which i made on top of your series.
Sorry, i don't have time to respin the whole thing, busy with qemu GICv3 fight :)
