I don't believe these are required at this stage.

'irq' was the right name *if* this represents a Linux irq. If this
instead represents a guest PPI, then it should be named 'intid'.

In either case, please document what this represents.

What does this represent? The state of the interrupt on the host? The
guest? Something else? Also, please consider grouping related fields
together.

If you've added a config option that controls the selection of the SPE
feature, why doesn't this result in an empty structure when it isn't
selected?
