So we are left with msix.c msi.c and kvm as the only users. kvm has a cache of messages so it needs a struct of these, msix/msi don't. MSIMessages is primarily designed for path from the device to the interrupt controller. And there are multiple stops, already in the path after this patch set. Interrupt remapping, e.g., would add another stop. If you see use cases in this series, though, let me know. Jan Yes, I see them. msix_notify is one example. msi_notify is another. E.g. msi_notify would IMO look nicer as: stl_le_phys(msi_get_address(dev, vector), msi_get_data(dev, vector)); This line does not exist anymore at the end of this series. See pc_msi_deliver.

I would add
uint64_t msix_get_address(dev, vector)
uint64_t msix_get_data(dev, vector)
and same for msi.
this would minimise the changes while still making it
possible to avoid code duplication in kvm.
