How come '__write_msi_msg' does not result in new MSI IRQs?

Is it fair to state that your code ends up reading the MSI IRQ (PIRQ)
from the device and updating the internal PIRQ<->IRQ code to match
with the reality?

We don't request a new pirq. We end up returning before we call xen_allocate_pirq_msi.
At least that is how the commit you mentioned worked.

In regards to why using 'xen_irq_from_pirq' instead of just checking the PIRQ - is
that we might be called twice by a buggy driver. As such we want to check
our PIRQ<->IRQ to figure this out.
