Will be used for generating and distributing MSI messages, both in
emulation mode and under KVM.

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.

I'm introducing msi[x]_message_from_vector for that purpose later on. Or
what do you mean?

It does not look like everyone actually wants the structure,
users seem to put it on stack and then immediately
unwrap it to get at the address/data.
So two accessorts get_data + get_address instead of one, will
remove the need to rework all code to use the structure.

The idea of this patch is to start handling MSI messages as a single
blob. There should be no need to ask a device for parts of that blobs
this way. If you see use cases in this series, though, let me know.

There should be no need to look at the message at all.
devices really only care about vector numbers.
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.

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));

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.

This line does not exist anymore at the end of this series. See
pc_msi_deliver.
