Interesting, I see you allow user to configure virtio-mmio params (irq 
and base), as far as I remember for virtio-disk these are internal only 
(allocated by tools/libs/light/libxl_arm.c).

I am not really sure why we need to configure virtio "base", could you 
please clarify? But if we really want/need to be able to configure 
virtio "irq" (for example to avoid possible clashing with physical one), 
I am afraid, this will require more changes that current patch does. 
Within current series saving virtio->irq here doesn't have any effect as 
it will be overwritten in 
libxl__arch_domain_prepare_config()->alloc_virtio_mmio_params() anyway. 
I presume the code in libxl__arch_domain_prepare_config() shouldn't try 
to allocate virtio->irq if it is already configured by user, also the 
allocator should probably take into the account of what is already 
configured by user, to avoid allocating the same irq for another device 
assigned for the same guest.

Also doc change in the subsequent patch doesn't mention about irq/base 
configuration.


So maybe we should just drop for now?
