I haven't followed the whole discussion, Alexey, is this the per-host
bridge source number or the global XIRR (XICS interrupt number) ?

Because in the latter case, it can be up to 24 bits... (And yes, MSI
data is limited to 16).

However maybe we can decide arbitrarily that under qemu/kvm we only
support 16-bit XIRRs (it's fine, from a PAPR perspective at least if it
keep things simpler).

Cheers,
Ben.
