I'm asking because the calculation doesn't really make sense to me yet. At the
moment "virtio_irq-32+1" happen to be the "number of disk + 1" and we
have "nr_spis += " which I don't think makes sense with the "+1".
Doesn't "nr_spis" only need to be the highest irq value for the devices
we're adding? (Maybe with +1) (also -32 because I think I understand
what 32 stand for now) (also, the "num_irqs" loop just after this loop
seems to do exactly that)
But I think what this line of code needs the most is a comment.

Do you think it could be possible to name that value? I've seen other
use of 32 in the same function that have probably the same meaning. But
if you don't have a good name, I guess we can also live a bit longer
with a plain "32".
