So lockless is the same as type == MSI from below?
If the idea is to make it extensible for the future,
let's just add an inline function, we don't need a field for this.

Userspace has no idea which entries are lockless and which are not:
this is an implementation detail - so it might not be able to avoid
illegal combinations.
Since this is called on an ioctl, can the rule be formulated in a way
that makes sense for userspace?

So this check seems like it does nothing, because lockless is same as
MSI, and MSI is always 1:1? Intentional?
