If you exclude old-style PCI pass-through and limit yourself to vhost
and VFIO, you can treat irqfd as "the" in-kernel source of the
interrupt.  Then you need a mapping between MSIs and numbers used in
KVM_IRQFD ("GSIs").

This is what KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING modifies, and basically the mapping is
modified every time a vector is masked/unmasked in the MSI-X table.
