Argh. Ok, I get that we need a mapping between an irqfd and a global
number, I don't see where MSIs come into the picture at all here. At
least for us they don't.

Right and that doesn't make sense for us. In fact I don't understand how
it makes sense for x86 either, but that's because I don't understand how
the APIC works I suppose.
