This problem does not exist because: a) Older platforms do not need this flag, so they expect to get zero. b) ARM64 + GICv3 platform cannot work without this flag. This is perfectly OK combination IMO. Userland just knows, whether it needs to supply device ID or not. For example, my modified qemu now has kvm_msi_flags global variable which defaults to 0. ITS code, then, if activated, changes it to KVM_MSI_VALID_DEVID, and qemu starts supplying device IDs to the related calls.
